Independence for Olivia: adapted tricycle

Olivia needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,500.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Fresno Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,500. 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 go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,500 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $220 • adapted tricycle: $2,150 • Delivery and set-up: $130 If you're reading this, thank you.

        praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Fresno.
