Munich
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Munich General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,100. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,100 goes: • adapted tricycle: $6,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $185 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $305 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Henry

  1. Quick update: $647 raised so far (9%). the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Quick update: $479 raised so far (7%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($289). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.
