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

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.

Take care, Paula. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tarragona.
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about adapted tricycle, advice is welcome too.
so sorry you're going through this, Paula. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Blessings
Take care. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from San Francisco.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Tarragona
You're not alone, Paula. Wishing Paula a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
