Artificial leg for David

Summary

David needs an artificial leg. He is 74 years old and suffers from diabetes complications. Before his leg was cut-off, he used to drive a single motor for transport and earn income for his family. Since the time he became disabled he lost income and unable to feed his family. There is a local artificial leg manufacturer in a nearby city and we have done some inquiries already. An artificial leg cost USD 1,700. Hoping for your kindness and generosity.

Challenge

David suffers from diabetes complications and his leg has been removed a year ago. He stays whole day in the house and is depressed. Before the leg amputation he used to drive a single transport motorcycle for a living but that source of income is lost now. He yearns for an artificial leg and dreams of rearing free-range chickens in the backyard when he is able to walk again. Native chicken is good business here and steady income is assured.

Solution

Without an artificial leg, David stays in his chair whole day doing nothing, staring into space and getting depressed every day. An artificial leg will do wonders to him and will enable him to function more efficiently compared to without one. Hoping for your kindness and generosity and help him.

Long-Term Impact

The well-being of local communities and their senior citizens is enhanced by timely delivery of supplies as community lock-downs and the difficulty in procuring food is happening. Our local workers embedded in the barrios will select and implement the delivery of food and in so doing we do not waste much-needed resources.
