Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Pamela in Surrey

Pamela needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,600.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Surrey General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,600. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $7,600 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $380 • prosthetic leg: $7,000 • Delivery and set-up: $220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Pamela
