Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Marième in Nijmegen
Help Marième get a prosthetic leg so She can speak with the people around her.
🇳🇱 Netherlands2,180 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Nijmegen General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,650.
My current equipment is 12 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,650 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $5,250
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $255
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Marième
Good news. Because of your gifts ($480 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Marième?
Thank you. If you're in Nijmegen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
so sorry you're going through this, Marième. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 5 people at work. Blessings.
How is Marième doing now?
Rooting for you, Marième. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Aberdeen so I could bring a meal. All the best!
wishing you the best, Marième. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Hope things get better soon, Marième. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Entebbe
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Rome
