Independence for Mim: adapted tricycle

Mim needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,300.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Birmingham Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,300. 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 attend work interviews. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,300 goes: • adapted tricycle: $6,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $240 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $245 Thank you so much. - Mim
