Mobility fund: prosthetic leg for Vani in Indore
Vani needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.
🇮🇳 Madhya Pradesh, India1,287 views
Vani lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Indore Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Vani could speak with the people around her. 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 $750 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $670
• First-year servicing plan: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Thanks for reading all this.
