An adapted tricycle for Bhavna: help Bhavna move freely
An adapted tricycle would give Bhavna independence - we're $1,200 away.
🇮🇳 Howrah, West Bengal, India1,170 views
Bhavna lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Howrah Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Bhavna could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• adapted tricycle: $1,100
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bhavna.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. fitting and training sessions comes first ($40) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
hang in there. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Pune so I could bring a meal. God bless
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Medina.
