Carolina lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Medellรญn General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Carolina could attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes: โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $70 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $20 โ€ข adapted tricycle: $1,110 Every share and every dollar helps. - Mauricio
