Simiyu needs a prosthetic leg - help us make it happen
A prosthetic leg would give Simiyu independence - we're $1,200 away.

Simiyu lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Kakamega Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Simiyu could go to school independently. 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 $1,200 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
