Help Hesti get an adapted tricycle so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Hesti lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Bekasi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Hesti 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 $500 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $65
• adapted tricycle: $420
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts, Kartika. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything
