Lúcia needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Lúcia independence - we're $2,000 away.
🇧🇷 Brazil3,727 views
Lúcia lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Brasília General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Lúcia 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 $2,000 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• adapted tricycle: $1,900
