Independence for Ernestina: adapted tricycle

An adapted tricycle would give Ernestina independence - we're $1,000 away.

Accra
Ernestina lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Accra Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Ernestina 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 $1,000 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $50 • adapted tricycle: $920 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Esi
