An adapted tricycle for Gita: help me move freely
An adapted tricycle would give Gita independence - we're $1,050 away.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,160 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Jakarta General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $940
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($413 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Sacramento.
