An adapted tricycle for Mathilde: help Mathilde move freely

An adapted tricycle would give Mathilde independence - we're $3,050 away.

Mathilde lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Marseille General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,050. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Mathilde 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 $3,050 goes: • adapted tricycle: $2,600 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $175 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Stéphane

  • Sending strength. Wishing Mathilde a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care

    • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal. Love from Nashik
