Independence for Purvi: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Purvi independence - we're $1,250 away.
🇮🇳 Bengaluru, Karnataka, India1,250 views
Purvi lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Bengaluru Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Purvi could join the school sports day. 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 $1,250 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $20
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Purvi
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. adapted tricycle comes first ($1,150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
Stay strong, Kshitija. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Stay strong, Kshitija. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
