Independence for Shawn: adapted tricycle

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Sacramento General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,200. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $8,200 goes: • adapted tricycle: $7,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $260 • First-year servicing plan: $190 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Nairobi.

      Keep going, Shawn. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Sacramento.
