Warangal

Bhavna lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Warangal Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Bhavna 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 $450 goes: • adapted tricycle: $350 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Gauri
