Selam lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Jimma Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Selam could attend work interviews. 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 $100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $15 Thanks for being kind about this.
