Laura needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Laura independence - we're $5,950 away.
🇩🇪 Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany4,394 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Mannheim Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,950.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $5,950 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $165
• First-year servicing plan: $285
Glad we found this place.
