Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Herman in Quezon City
Help Herman get an adapted tricycle so He can join the school sports day.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,965 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Quezon City General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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 $900 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $780
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Quezon City
Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hang in there, Herman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Siliguri so I could bring a meal.
rooting for you, Herman. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Patras this morning
