Declan lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,200.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Declan could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $9,200 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $8,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $200
• First-year servicing plan: $330
Every share and every dollar helps.
