Rahul needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Rahul needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,250.
🇮🇳 Kolkata, West Bengal, India1,000 views
Rahul lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Kolkata Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Rahul 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Glad we found this place.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Entebbe.
