An adapted tricycle for Usha: help Usha move freely
Usha needs an adapted tricycle that the health system will not fund; the cost is $10,000.
🇺🇸 California, United States901 views
Usha lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Bakersfield Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $10,000.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Usha could speak with the people around her. 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 $10,000 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $9,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $120
• Delivery and set-up: $240
• First-year servicing plan: $390
Thank you for reading my story.
