Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Amparo in San Miguel de Tucumán
Help Amparo get an adapted tricycle so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇦🇷 San Miguel de Tucumán, Tucumán, Argentina806 views
Amparo lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at San Miguel de Tucumán General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Amparo 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 $2,100 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
