Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Kees in Amsterdam

A prosthetic leg would give Kees independence - we are $7,850 away.

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. - Noor
