I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Allentown Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,700.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $4,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $420
• Delivery and set-up: $220
• First-year servicing plan: $360
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
You're not alone. Wishing Adrián a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Rawalpindi
Keep going. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. Love from Nice.
Thanks for sharing this, Adrián. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 16 people at work. Take care.
Hope it all works out, Adrián. Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Comilla.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Jakarta.
