Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Agnes in Gothenburg
An adapted tricycle would give Agnes independence - we're $4,600 away.
🇸🇪 Västra Götaland, Sweden2,377 views
Agnes lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Gothenburg Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,600.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Agnes 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 $4,600 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Annika. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted
Keep going, Annika. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going, Annika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Hang in there, Annika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
