It was a #FeelGoodFriday at Polio Survivors Ireland when we received a lovely message from our member Yayuk, who we were able to help get fitted with a new KAFO (knee ankle foot orthosis) from Ottobock. She is thrilled!
"Thank you is not enough, but please kindly accept my highest gratitude to the entire team of Ottobock Ireland and Polio Survivors Ireland for making it happen for me.
Alastair--that happens to be the name of my new KAFO now--has been so excellent!
It (KAFO) fits me perfectly, is much better and lighter than I ever imagined. My crutches, Bob and Ben, now can enjoy their restful moments after they walked me through the world for years. "
Polio Survivors Ireland is the only organisation in Ireland providing practical support to those unfortunate enough to have contracted polio when babies or young children. Donations from our supporters go directly to providing these kinds of crucial services and supports, and allow us to help members like Yayuk to maintain their independence and mobility.
