Help Renata get an adapted tricycle so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Envigado Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $950 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $720
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $95
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dallas.
