Imelda needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Imelda needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.
🇵🇭 Dasmariñas, Cavite, Philippines1,736 views
Imelda lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Dasmariñas Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Imelda could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $750 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $610
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $45
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
