Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Claudia in Fort Worth
An adapted tricycle would give Claudia independence - we're $6,400 away.

Claudia lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Fort Worth Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,400.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Claudia 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 $6,400 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $115
• adapted tricycle: $6,015
With deep gratitude,
Rodrigo
