Independence for Tyler: adapted tricycle
An adapted tricycle would give Tyler independence - we're $7,800 away.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States4,488 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at San Jose General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,800.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $7,800 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $185
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $230
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thinking of you and your family, Tyler. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
What's already covered and what's the $7,800 for?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. adapted tricycle comes first ($7,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
Take care, Tyler. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless!
You're not alone, Tyler. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Addis Ababa but we're thinking of you.
praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Bandung.
