Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Fon in Khon Kaen
Help Fon get an adapted tricycle so She can join the school sports day.
🇹🇭 Khon Kaen, Khon Kaen, Thailand639 views
Fon lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Khon Kaen Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Fon could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $90
• adapted tricycle: $1,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Prasert
Thank you all. We're at 95% now ($1,515). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward adapted tricycle.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($795 in total) the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Keep going, Prasert. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Surat.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Bengaluru so I could bring a meal.
Stay strong, Prasert. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
