An adapted tricycle for Novelette: help Novelette move freely

Help Novelette get an adapted tricycle so She can join the school sports day.

Novelette lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Montego Bay General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Novelette could join the school sports day. 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 $2,000 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $70 • adapted tricycle: $1,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 With deep gratitude, Cecelia

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Novelette.

      • Cecelia B. ThompsonOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is first-year servicing plan, $70. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

        Sending love. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
