Rani needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Rani needs a prosthetic leg that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $600 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $580
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hang in there, Rani. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Keep going, Rani. Hope this works out for you.
Sending love. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Hyderabad.
