Sebastian needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Sebastian independence - we are $6,350 away.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand6,940 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Auckland Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• prosthetic leg: $6,015
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

wishing you the best, Sebastian. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest
Hope it all works out, Sebastian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Rawalpindi.
Best of luck, Sebastian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Surabaya this morning. Love from Surabaya.
Sending love, Sebastian. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too
hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Sacramento.
So sorry you're going through this, Sebastian. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Auckland
