Alcalá de Henares

José lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Alcalá de Henares General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment José could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $600 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $270 • Fitting and training sessions: $240 • Delivery and set-up: $90 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
