Davao City
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Davao City Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,250 goes: • adapted tricycle: $1,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Dennis

  1. Small update. $649 so far, the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($137 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
