Ganga lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Kathmandu General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Ganga could speak with the people around her. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,050 goes: • adapted tricycle: $970 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $45 With deep gratitude, Manoj

          Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Epe.
