An adapted tricycle for Chukwuemeka: help me move freely
An adapted tricycle would give Chukwuemeka independence - we're $1,000 away.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,168 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Ikeja General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• adapted tricycle: $950
• First-year servicing plan: $35
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Wishing you the best, Chukwuemeka. Wishing Chukwuemeka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Ikeja
take care, Chukwuemeka. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
You're not alone, Chukwuemeka. Wishing Chukwuemeka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Savannah.
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Londrina!
