Independence for Yusuf: adapted tricycle
Yusuf needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.
🇿🇦 South Africa2,155 views
Yusuf lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Soweto Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Yusuf could join the school sports day. 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 $950 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $760
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Rashid
Quick update: $274 raised so far (29%). I made the first payment toward adapted tricycle. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($104 in total) the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope it all works out, Rashid. Hope the doctors have good news. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
