I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Sherbrooke Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,450. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $3,450 goes: • adapted tricycle: $2,850 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $120 • First-year servicing plan: $270 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Michel
