Chen lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Toronto Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,700. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Chen 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,700 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $140 • First-year servicing plan: $230 • adapted tricycle: $3,330 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
