Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Marcel in Augsburg

A prosthetic leg would give Marcel independence - we're $4,600 away.

Marcel lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Augsburg Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,600. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Marcel could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $4,600 goes: โ€ข prosthetic leg: $4,100 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $140 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $65 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $295 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
