I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Anaheim General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,450.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $4,450 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• First-year servicing plan: $335
