Independence for Aadhya: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Aadhya independence - we're $850 away.
🇮🇳 Nashik, Maharashtra, India2,450 views
Aadhya lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Nashik General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Aadhya 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 $850 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $760
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $80
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Nikhil. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nashik
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Aadhya
Adapted tricycle is $760 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this, Nikhil. Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Accra so I could bring a meal. God bless!
So sorry you're going through this, Nikhil. Wishing Aadhya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Kediri so I could bring a meal. Take care
