An adapted tricycle for Aurora: help me move freely
Help Aurora get an adapted tricycle so She can join the school sports day.
🇮🇹 Emilia-Romagna, Italy425 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Bologna Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,550.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $5,550 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $5,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $250
Glad we found this place.
