Fernando needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Fernando independence - we're $800 away.

Fernando lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Vitória da Conquista Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Fernando 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 $800 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $600
• First-year servicing plan: $105
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
Glad we found this place.
