I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Perth Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,900. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $3,900 goes: • adapted tricycle: $3,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $320 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $215 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Levi

              Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
