Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Igor in Gdynia
An adapted tricycle would give Igor independence - we're $2,050 away.
🇵🇱 81-226, Gdynia, Pomerania, Poland1,621 views
Igor lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Gdynia Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,050.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Igor could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,050 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $115
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $150
I hope life is good to you.

Wishing you peace. Wishing Igor a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone, Szymon. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Szymon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Adama.
Wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Tema.
Hope it all works out, Szymon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
