Josephine needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen

An adapted tricycle would give Josephine independence - we're $450 away.

Manukau
Josephine lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Manukau General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Josephine 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 $450 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Fitting and training sessions: $155 • Delivery and set-up: $85 Thank you so much. - Rebecca

  1. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
