Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Colton in Anaheim
Help Colton get an adapted tricycle so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States4,342 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Anaheim General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,700.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $6,700 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $130
• Delivery and set-up: $100
• First-year servicing plan: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care, Colton. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Aurora.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Anaheim
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Colton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Odesa
