London
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,000. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $3,000 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $230 • adapted tricycle: $2,705 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

            Sending strength, Andrew. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of London

              Take care, Andrew. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Rio de Janeiro so I could bring a meal. Love from Jakarta
