Sang-hoon needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Help Sang-hoon get a prosthetic leg so He can speak with the people around him.
🇰🇷 South Korea1,022 views
Sang-hoon lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Suwon Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Sang-hoon could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,700 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $100
• First-year servicing plan: $120
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sang-hoon?
Thank you. If you're in Suwon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Seoul
