Prosthetic foot

Donation protected
hello everyone. I'm reaching out because I've found myself in the toughest bind I've had since my amputation. Because I've been denied disability because the state deems me able to work, I've been forced to take a job serving. Because I was on Medical-Cal at the time of my amputation, I was able to get my basic prosthetic needs taken care of. But because of the physical activity of work, (getting to and from and the job itself) my leg has drastically and dramatically changed shape. Because I was last fitted over 6 months ago, I am in desperate need of a new foot/sleeve in order to keep working and to keep my independence. I'm in a catch 22 because the fact that I am working now disqualifies me from insurance so everything has to be paid out of pocket. The new sleeve costs around $400. But because now I have open wounds and pressure sores I am in desperate need of the new equipment and time off to heal as to not risk infection again and end up hospitalized. So I'm asking for help in the season of giving humbly and gratefully. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy holidays. Thank you so very much.
