Help Colette get an adapted tricycle so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

Colette lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Montréal Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,300. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Colette could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $9,300 goes: • adapted tricycle: $8,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $360 • First-year servicing plan: $190 With deep gratitude, Adam
