How much does each limb cost?
It cost Standing With Hope approximately $700 to provide a limb to an amputee in Ghana. This includes all parts (foot, pylon, etc.) materials for fabricating the limb (resin, carbon fiber, stockinet, adaptors, etc.) and manufuacturing costs such as equipment, shipping, and labor. In addition, this cost includes high performance liners and sleeves that below the knee amputees wear. These sleeves and liners are exactly what Gracie herself wears with her prosthetic limbs (click on question to view information about sleeves and liners). For above knee amputees, we also provide high quality knee units and belt systems. There are many ways to make a prosthetic limb, and several of them are cheaper. We feel a responsibility to make hi-quality limbs that will last and perform well in the often-difficult conditions of developing countries. As Christians, we are putting this leg on in order to reflect the Gospel. We want provide the very best we can. We cannot accept placing a limb on an amputee
