Independence for Mia: adapted tricycle
Help Mia get an adapted tricycle so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,915 views
Mia lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Birmingham Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Mia 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 $2,100 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,550
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• Fitting and training sessions: $340
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Patrick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care!
wishing you the best, Patrick. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Patrick. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Birmingham
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Los Angeles
