Ochieng lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Nakuru General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Ochieng could speak with the people around him. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $550 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 โ€ข adapted tricycle: $450 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $75 Thank you so much. - Mwangi
