An adapted tricycle for Jagadish: help Jagadish move freely
Jagadish needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.

Jagadish lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Mumbai General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Jagadish could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• adapted tricycle: $550
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Ciudad de México
Hope it all works out, Hari. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Berlin
Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mumbai
