I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the San Miguel de Tucumán Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• adapted tricycle: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
