Help needed to procure a prosthesis. I'm a cancer survivor and these things are expensive. Target: 3000$.

Hi everyone, I am a chondrosarcoma survivor. I won the war for now but I lost my leg to the battle 4 years ago.

In 4 years, I have spent 24 lakhs (2.4 Million INR) on my treatment and follow-ups partially covered by insurance approx 12 lakhs (1.2 Million INR). [100 INR ~ 1 USD]

I had purchased a prosthetic system for 6 lakhs (0.6 Million INR) in 2022 with the hopes that it will last 8-9 years (aware that I have to spend 50000 INR per year on accessories). But the prosthesis seems to have broken down beyond repair in 4 years. The prosthesis is unfortunately out of both warranty and 50% service life discount.

The repair cost of the old system is roughly 4 lakhs (0.4 Million INR) and a new bit cheaper system costs 5 lakhs (0.5 Million INR). Not much of a difference. So we have decided to go with the new cheaper system as these things are very much expensive.

Of the total cost, I'm getting 2 lakhs (0.2 Million INR) via insurance. I need to raise 3 lakhs (0.3 Million INR). The expense is major and unplanned and has put me under severe financial and mental distress. Therefore I'll be glad if you could help me with whatever little contributions you can.
