I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the São Paulo Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $900 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $50 • prosthetic leg: $740 • First-year servicing plan: $110 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
