Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for George in Madina
Help George get a prosthetic leg so He can go to school independently.
🇬🇭 Ghana1,619 views
George lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Madina Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment George could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $450 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $320
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Take care!
How is George doing now?
Stay strong, Abena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in San Antonio but we're thinking of you. Greetings from San Antonio.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for George.
Sure. The biggest one is prosthetic leg, $320. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
sending strength, Abena. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
Hope things get better soon, Abena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help George?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about prosthetic leg, advice is welcome too.
Keep going, Abena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in București but we're thinking of you.
best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Phuket this morning. Love from Phuket
best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 23 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Abena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours
You're not alone, Abena. Gave what I could, wish it was more
Stay strong, Abena. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Bekasi!
thinking of you and your family, Abena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
