Butwal
Kalpana lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Butwal General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Kalpana could attend work interviews. 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 $1,300 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $35 Thanks for reading all this. - Sushila
