Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Jimena in Zapopan
Help Jimena get an adapted tricycle so She can join the school sports day.
🇲🇽 Mexico909 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Zapopan Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $50
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
Thank you for reading my story.

thanks for sharing this, Jimena. Get well soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Salem.
Hope things get better soon, Jimena. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Zapopan.
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
