Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Kees in Amsterdam
A prosthetic leg would give Kees independence - we are $7,850 away.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands1,767 views
Kees lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Amsterdam Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,850.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Kees 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 $7,850 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $380
• prosthetic leg: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
Thank you so much.

thanks for sharing this, Noor. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update
Keep going, Noor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Amsterdam.
Stay strong, Noor. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Good luck, Noor. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Amsterdam.
