Independence for Million: adapted tricycle
Million needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇪🇹 Bahir Dar, Amhara, Ethiopia1,444 views
Million lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Bahir Dar General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Million 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• adapted tricycle: $895
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Fikru. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Mississauga this morning. Greetings from Mississauga.
Shared this with my family. Love from Houston.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Dodoma but we're thinking of you.
stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Bahir Dar.
Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Peshawar!
