New Prosthetic Leg

Please check out my YouTube page where I’ve uploaded a video about my gofundme campaign. My channel name is Not Mennie Tuesdays. I’ve created this go fund me page as my prosthetic leg, at the foot, keeps breaking due to the fact I have child size feet so it can’t handle my adult weight. This is a basic NHS foot and after numerous visits to the Prosthetic Dept to fix the problem it looks like it will keep happening as that’s the only type of foot they can offer me for my size/weight. Whilst there they basically suggested I lose weight so I’m a better weight for the foot. This foot is made for a child’s weight, I’m 30 and an average UK size 10. So in order for me to be an ideal weight for this child foot, I’d have to be underweight. They also suggest I walk less. I came out of that appointment feeling like I was too big and needed to lose weight when I’m actually a healthy weight. We are meant to be encouraging people to get out and about more not to sit around and stay indoors and basically do nothing.

I have been in contact with a private prosthetic company nearby who can make me a better quality leg that will be able to not only have a better foot but offer me I more comfortable leg as a whole. I know these prosthetic legs are very expensive so every single penny will help to pay for it.
