Independence for Lea: adapted tricycle

Lea needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,450.

Lea lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Berlin Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,450. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Lea 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $4,450 goes: • adapted tricycle: $3,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $275 Thank you so much. - Ludwig

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lea?

      Thank you. If you're in Berlin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Rolando W. Marquez

    Get well soon. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
