An adapted tricycle for Yiannis: help Yiannis move freely
Yiannis needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,800.
🇬🇷 Athens, Attica, Greece1,651 views
Yiannis lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Athens Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Yiannis could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $4,550
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yiannis?
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Attica. I'll ask around and let you know
Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Xalapa.
Wishing you peace, Ioannis. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from San Diego.
