Help Caio get an adapted tricycle so He can attend work interviews.

São Paulo
Caio lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,450. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Caio 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $2,450 goes: • adapted tricycle: $2,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $120 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $90 Thank you so much. - Jéssica

    Thinking of you, Jéssica. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.

      praying for you. Wishing Caio a smooth procedure and a full recovery. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

        Praying for you, Jéssica. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from San Sebastián
