Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Adrián in Ciudad de México
Adrián needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,700.

Adrián lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Ciudad de México Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,700.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Adrián 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Nuria
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($112). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.
Update from Ciudad de México: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
