Independence for Rosângela: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Rosângela independence - we're $2,050 away.

Rosângela lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Petrópolis General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Rosângela could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $130
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Heitor. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Petrópolis
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
shared this with my family. My neighbor in Nakuru donated after I showed her your page. Love from Nakuru
hope it all works out, Heitor. Get well soon. Don't give up. Love from Aurangabad.
Stay strong, Heitor. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Petrópolis.
Hope things get better soon, Heitor. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Málaga but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Málaga.
