Rubén lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Córdoba General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Rubén 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $550 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $115 • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • First-year servicing plan: $225 With deep gratitude, Pedro
