I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Pretoria General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $950 goes: โ€ข prosthetic leg: $850 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $40 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $60 Glad we found this place. - Shireen
