Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Manuela in Belo Horizonte

Help Manuela get a prosthetic leg so She can speak with the people around her.

Belo Horizonte
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Belo Horizonte Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $900 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $95 • prosthetic leg: $650 • Fitting and training sessions: $155 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Manuela

            Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
