Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Raymond in Lexington
A prosthetic leg would give Raymond independence - we're $4,150 away.
🇺🇸 United States3,670 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Lexington General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,150 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $3,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $400
• Delivery and set-up: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

Rooting for you, Raymond. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Chicago but we're thinking of you.
Praying for you, Raymond. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Lexington
Stay strong, Raymond. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Good luck, Raymond. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in San Diego this morning. All the best!
