HIS STORY

A life changed in a moment, followed by years of adaptation

Before the accident, Nando worked as a taxi driver, stayed active and enjoyed sports. The accident resulted in a complete amputation of his left leg at hip level. Since then, everyday mobility, work and autonomy have required far more effort.

For approximately fourteen years, Nando has adapted to a demanding physical reality. This campaign does not promise a miracle or select a device in advance. The first step must be professional evaluation to determine what solution is appropriate and safe for him.

Mobility is not only about walking. It also affects work, participation, self-care and the ability to make everyday choices with less dependence on others.
MORE THAN MOBILITY

Behind the campaign is a person with relationships, plans and a future

The purpose is not to define Nando only by his disability. It is to support a real person who wants greater independence and more possibilities to participate in daily life.

Close support matters, but specialized assessment, fitting and rehabilitation are also essential parts of a responsible prosthetic process.

THE ROAD AHEAD

The donation supports a process, not only a device

The final clinical and prosthetic decisions must be made by the corresponding specialists. The campaign is organized around four responsible stages.

1

Specialized assessment

Clinical, functional and prosthetic evaluation to understand needs, possibilities and realistic mobility goals.

2

Prosthetic definition

Selection of components and configuration according to Nando's anatomy, amputation level and professional assessment.

3

Fitting and calibration

Interface work, alignment, adjustments and repeated testing to improve safety, comfort and function.

4

Rehabilitation

Training, strengthening, balance, transfers and safe use of the final system when appropriate.
