Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Naana in Tarkwa
Naana needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,500.
🇬🇭 Tarkwa, Western, GhanaPosted Oct 1, 20261,355 views
Naana lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Tarkwa Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Naana could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,500 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $55
• prosthetic leg: $1,425
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tarkwa!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about delivery and set-up, advice is welcome too. Good question.
Praying for you, Kelvin. Wishing Naana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Keep going, Kelvin. This could happen to any of us. Take care!
Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Love from Ottawa.
