Ebba needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Ebba needs an adapted tricycle that the health system will not fund; the cost is $5,200.
🇸🇪 Stockholm, Sweden2,993 views
Ebba lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Stockholm Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,200.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Ebba 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $4,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $145
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ebba.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. adapted tricycle comes first ($4,650) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Accra.
Stay strong, Arvid. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ebba?
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal
This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Stockholm.
keep going, Arvid. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from San Jose
so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Ebba a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
thinking of you. Wishing Ebba a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
