I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Valencia Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,700 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,400 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $125 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Iván

  • Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Stuttgart so I could bring a meal.

    • Thinking of you, Iván. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Praying for you, Iván. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Valencia
