San Diego
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at San Diego General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,350. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $8,350 goes: • prosthetic leg: $7,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $200 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $275 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Waylon
