Reagan lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Surrey Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,350. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Reagan could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $4,350 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $210 • adapted tricycle: $3,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $240 If you're reading this, thank you.
