Rolando needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen

Help Rolando get a prosthetic leg so He can get to the shops and visit friends.

Rolando lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mandaue Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Rolando could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,200 goes: • prosthetic leg: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $15 I hope life is good to you.

  2. 46% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($557 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
