Mazen lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Alcalá de Henares Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,650.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Mazen could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,650 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $2,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $215
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Mahmoud. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted
Sending strength, Mahmoud. Get well soon. Sent it to 19 people at work. Love from Radom.
