Takoradi
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Takoradi Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,450. My current equipment is 15 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,450 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $35 โ€ข adapted tricycle: $1,350 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $65 Thank you for reading my story.

      I pay the supplier and post the receipt here so you can see where it went. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier!

    • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western. I'll ask around and let you know.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Vincent. Shared this with my family. After 18 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Soweto.
