An adapted tricycle for Emma: help Emma move freely
Help Emma get an adapted tricycle so She can speak with the people around her.

Emma lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Newcastle upon Tyne Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,950.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Emma could speak with the people around her. 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 $3,950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $230
• adapted tricycle: $3,635
I hope life is good to you.

sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Doris. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Dar es Salaam
