I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Kaduna Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,050 goes: • adapted tricycle: $920 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Abosede

              Thinking of you, Abosede. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
