Tlaquepaque
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Tlaquepaque Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $2,350 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $110 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • adapted tricycle: $2,200 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Emiliano

Updates from Emiliano

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($249 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $191 raised so far (8%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($166 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Minneapolis.
