Isamu needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen

An adapted tricycle would give Isamu independence - we're $400 away.

Isamu lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Setagaya General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Isamu could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $400 goes: β€’ Fitting and training sessions: $220 β€’ Delivery and set-up: $55 β€’ First-year servicing plan: $125 I hope life is good to you. - Kaito

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Bakersfield so I could bring a meal!
