Usman lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Benin City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Usman 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,200 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Chiamaka
