Düsseldorf

Horst lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Düsseldorf Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,050. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Horst could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,050 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $185 • Delivery and set-up: $120 • prosthetic leg: $5,745 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Small update. $180 so far, I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
Update from Düsseldorf: the plan for prosthetic leg is now scheduled. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
