Moscow
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Moscow Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,000 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • prosthetic leg: $1,885 Thank you for reading my story.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Zlata. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Moscow!

      • hope the doctors have good news. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • Hang in there. Wishing Zlata a smooth procedure and a full recovery

          • good luck, Zlata. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Jacksonville donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
