Independence for Minh: adapted tricycle
Minh needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,650.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Da Nang Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,650.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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 $1,650 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $70
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Anaheim but we're thinking of you
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
Good luck, Minh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Da Nang.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Geelong this morning.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Da Nang.
