Rio de Janeiro
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Rio de Janeiro Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $200 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $40 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Viviane
