An adapted tricycle for Dylan: help Dylan move freely
Dylan needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,850.
🇺🇸 United States4,701 views
Dylan lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Houston Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Dylan 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 $3,850 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $110
• First-year servicing plan: $250
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Stephanie. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bakersfield.
is adapted tricycle the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 20 people at work. Love from Aurangabad.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Rooting for you, Stephanie. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected!
