Independence for Rahul: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Rahul independence - we're $950 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Mumbai Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $950 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $850
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Rahul?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about adapted tricycle, advice is welcome too. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending strength, Rahul. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Rahul. Hope the doctors have good news
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahul!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. adapted tricycle comes first ($850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
praying for you, Rahul. Hope you get there. Sent it to 22 people at work. Thinking of Mumbai.
Good luck, Rahul. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Madrid
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
rooting for you, Rahul. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Sacramento.

take care, Rahul. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
