An adapted tricycle for Baptiste: help Baptiste move freely
Help Baptiste get an adapted tricycle so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇨🇦 Canada560 views
Baptiste lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Halifax Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,600.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Baptiste could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $6,600 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• First-year servicing plan: $245

Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Praying for you, Marie. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope April is when things finally get easier. God bless.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Thane but we're thinking of you. All the best.
