Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Caio in Duque de Caxias
Help Caio get an adapted tricycle so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇧🇷 Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil2,112 views
Caio lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Duque de Caxias General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,400.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Caio 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 $2,400 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $2,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
