Ifeoma lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Ifeoma 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,150 goes: • adapted tricycle: $1,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $55 I hope life is good to you. - Ngozika

Updates from Ngozika

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($257 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

      Thinking of you and your family, Ngozika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
