An adapted tricycle for Vladimir: help me move freely
Help Vladimir get an adapted tricycle so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇷🇺 Moscow, Moscow, Russia2,302 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Moscow General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,750.
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 go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,750 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $2,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Your post was clear and honest. Love from Pretoria
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vladimir
It's all in the list in the story. adapted tricycle is the big one at $2,600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Praying for you, Vladimir. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Caruaru but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Best of luck, Vladimir. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending good thoughts, Vladimir. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Rooting for you, Vladimir. Wishing Vladimir a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
