I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Coimbatore Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $980
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

How is Saraswathi doing now?
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. Love from San Diego
so sorry you're going through this, Saraswathi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Keep going. Hope this works out for you. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Coimbatore.
Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Fukuoka
