An adapted tricycle for Elise: help me move freely
Elise needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,050.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Paris Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,050.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $195
If you're reading this, thank you.
