An adapted tricycle would give Bianca independence - we're $2,100 away.

Bianca lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Pelotas Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Bianca could go to school independently. 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 $2,100 goes: • adapted tricycle: $1,850 • Fitting and training sessions: $120 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $95 If you're reading this, thank you. - Adriana

  3. Update from Pelotas: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
