Lily lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Lowell General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,550. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Lily could attend work interviews. 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 $3,550 goes: • adapted tricycle: $3,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $145 • First-year servicing plan: $180 Thanks for reading all this.

          Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Lowell.
