I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Manila Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $850 goes: • adapted tricycle: $720 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
