An adapted tricycle for Festus: help Festus move freely
Festus needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $760.

Festus lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Onitsha Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $760.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Festus 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 $760 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• adapted tricycle: $730
• Delivery and set-up: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
