Carol lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Jacksonville Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,300. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Carol could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,300 goes: โ€ข adapted tricycle: $4,800 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $165 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $155 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $180 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Leo
