Kamala needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Kamala needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $400.
🇳🇵 Gandaki, Nepal605 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Pokhara Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $400 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $35
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Kamala doing now?
Wishing Kamala a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 29 people at work. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Kamala. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Newcastle upon Tyne but we're thinking of you. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Shinjuku.
Thinking of you and your family, Kamala. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Heliopolis.
