Santiago lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Puebla General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,450. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Santiago 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,450 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • prosthetic leg: $1,380 Thanks for reading all this.
