São Paulo
Daniela lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Daniela could go to school independently. 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 $2,500 goes: • adapted tricycle: $2,300 • Fitting and training sessions: $75 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • First-year servicing plan: $75 Thank you for reading my story. - Priscila

Updates from Priscila

  1. Update from São Paulo: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 68% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. We're at 26% thanks to 24 of you. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. More news soon.
