Shireen needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
Help Shireen get a prosthetic leg so She can go to school independently.
🇿🇦 Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa1,636 views
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:
• prosthetic leg: $850
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
Glad we found this place.
