I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Lowell Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,000.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $3,000 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $2,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $180
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Good luck, Travis. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Jacksonville.
thinking of you and your family, Travis. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Travis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Port Harcourt.
