Independence for Prasert: adapted tricycle

An adapted tricycle would give Prasert independence - we're $1,350 away.

Prasert lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Phuket General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Prasert could go to school independently. 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 $1,350 goes: • adapted tricycle: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $95 With deep gratitude, Nikom
