An adapted tricycle for Malak: help Malak move freely
Help Malak get an adapted tricycle so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, ItalyPosted Sep 27, 20263,492 views
Malak lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Brescia General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,150.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Malak 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $245
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Malak.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. adapted tricycle is the biggest at $3,750. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope things get better soon, Zainab. I hope things turn around soon. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Brescia!
Thank you. If you're in Brescia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Zainab. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
thinking of you, Zainab. Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Manila but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you. Wishing Malak a smooth procedure and a full recovery
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Magelang.
Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Zainab. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Malang
Sending love, Zainab. Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Zainab. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Brescia.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Brescia.
