An adapted tricycle for Maricel: help Maricel move freely
Help Maricel get an adapted tricycle so She can attend work interviews.
🇵🇭 Manila, Metro Manila, Philippines1,216 views
Maricel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Manila Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Maricel 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $760
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you the best, Lovely. Shared this with my family. After 24 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
