Tesfaye lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Adama Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Tesfaye 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $750 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• prosthetic leg: $720
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Tesfaye?
Thank you. If you're in Adama I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Adama.
thanks for sharing this, Konjit. Wishing Tesfaye a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
