Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Eduardo in Mar del Plata
An adapted tricycle would give Eduardo independence - we're $150 away.

Eduardo lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Mar del Plata General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Eduardo could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $70
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $10
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Rafael. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
rooting for you, Rafael. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
