Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Hudson in Swansea

An adapted tricycle would give Hudson independence - we're $5,700 away.

Swansea
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Swansea General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,700. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $5,700 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $310 • adapted tricycle: $5,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $140 Thank you for reading my story.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,162 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($841). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.

    keep going, Hudson. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

    • Juma Mukasa Wafula

      So sorry you're going through this, Hudson. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
