An adapted tricycle for Jin-woo: help Jin-woo move freely
Jin-woo needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,700.

Jin-woo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Suwon Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,700.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Jin-woo 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 $5,700 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $150
• First-year servicing plan: $115
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Tae-yang. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
