Independence for Siddharth: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Siddharth independence - we're $1,050 away.

Siddharth lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Siddharth 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 $1,050 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• adapted tricycle: $990
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Smit
Good news. Because of your gifts ($469 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Makati!
Sending strength, Smit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace, Smit. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
thinking of you and your family, Smit. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Good luck, Smit. Wishing Siddharth a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care.
