Independence for Paula: adapted tricycle

Paula needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,450.

Tarragona
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Tarragona Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,450 goes: • adapted tricycle: $6,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $165 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $175 Every share and every dollar helps.
