Independence for Arda: adapted tricycle
Arda needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,750.

Arda lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Munich Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,750.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Arda could join the school sports day. 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 $3,750 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $220
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Ayşe. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Munich.
So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Ayşe. Hope this works out for you. Love from Caxias do Sul
