Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Durga in Butwal
Durga needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Butwal Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Bakersfield but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Bakersfield.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Durga.
It's all in the list in the story. fitting and training sessions is the big one at $40, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon, Durga. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Butwal.
Thank you. If you're in Butwal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Take care, Durga. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
Praying for you, Durga. Wishing Durga a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Thinking of Butwal.

Hang in there, Durga. Shared it with a few friends!

Hope things get better soon, Durga. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
