Janet needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen

An adapted tricycle would give Janet independence - we're $650 away.

Janet lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Janet 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 $650 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $210 • Fitting and training sessions: $290 • First-year servicing plan: $150 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Benjamin
