Nonso needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Nonso independence - we're $850 away.
🇳🇬 Gwagwalada, Abuja FCT, Nigeria2,104 views
Nonso lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Gwagwalada Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Nonso could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $850 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $800
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $5
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Ifeoma. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Praying for you, Ifeoma. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nagpur
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nonso?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about prosthetic leg, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
stay strong, Ifeoma. Hope the doctors have good news.
Hope things get better soon, Ifeoma. Hope you get there. Thinking of Gwagwalada
