Rodrigo needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Rodrigo independence - we're $1,900 away.
🇧🇷 Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil851 views
Rodrigo lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Campinas Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,900.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Rodrigo could join the school sports day. 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 $1,900 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $45
With deep gratitude,
Samuel
