Nida needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Nida needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $400.
🇵🇰 Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan1,159 views
Nida lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Gujranwala General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Nida 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 $400 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• prosthetic leg: $350
• First-year servicing plan: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Mahnoor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Gujranwala
Hope things get better soon, Mahnoor. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Mahnoor. It takes guts to ask. Well done
