Adhiambo lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Jinja General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Adhiambo could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $450 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $330
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything
praying for you, Fatuma. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
