Hyun-ju needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Hyun-ju independence - we're $6,100 away.

Hyun-ju lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Daegu Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,100.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Hyun-ju could speak with the people around her. 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 $6,100 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $80
• First-year servicing plan: $185
Thanks for reading all this.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($753 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

You're not alone, Jae-hyun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
thanks for sharing this, Jae-hyun. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Khulna.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Daegu.
Thank you. If you're in Daegu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending love, Jae-hyun. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Lahore.
Rooting for you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Glasgow donated after I showed her your page.
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Hyun-ju a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Daegu.
This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Lalitpur donated after I showed her your page
Wishing you the best, Jae-hyun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours
