Munich
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Munich General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,450. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,450 goes: • prosthetic leg: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $105 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $260 Every share and every dollar helps.
