An adapted tricycle for Abigail: help me move freely
An adapted tricycle would give Abigail independence - we're $6,450 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Winston-Salem Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,450 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $160
• adapted tricycle: $6,230
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Winston-Salem!
You're not alone, Abigail. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 33 people at work. Thinking of Winston-Salem.
