Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Aleksandra in Radom

Help Aleksandra get an adapted tricycle so She can attend work interviews.

Radom
Aleksandra lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Radom General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Aleksandra 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 $1,200 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $40 • adapted tricycle: $1,000 • First-year servicing plan: $160 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Paulina

  1. Thank you all. We're at 54% now ($648). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($396 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($145). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.

      Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out!
