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.

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
