An adapted tricycle for Caoimhe: help Caoimhe move freely
An adapted tricycle would give Caoimhe independence - we're $8,300 away.

Caoimhe lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Dublin General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,300.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Caoimhe 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $8,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $135
• adapted tricycle: $8,000
• Delivery and set-up: $165
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
