Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Elena in London
Help Elena get an adapted tricycle so She can speak with the people around her.
🇬🇧 England, United KingdomPosted Oct 1, 20264,441 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,850.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $3,850 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $3,450
• First-year servicing plan: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $180
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Tallahassee so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of London.
gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Cape Town.
