Marcus lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Detroit Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Marcus could attend work interviews. 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 $3,850 goes: • adapted tricycle: $3,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $170 • Delivery and set-up: $125 • First-year servicing plan: $455 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Nathan
