An adapted tricycle for Guadalupe: help Guadalupe move freely
Guadalupe needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,450.
🇺🇸 United States5,388 views
Guadalupe lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Phoenix General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Guadalupe could attend work interviews. 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 $6,450 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• adapted tricycle: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Natalia. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Xalapa.
