Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Lavanya in Nashik
Lavanya needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $700.

Lavanya lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Nashik General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Lavanya could speak with the people around her. 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 $700 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $610
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $30
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is adapted tricycle the biggest cost or is there more coming?
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. adapted tricycle comes first ($610) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Caloocan
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Nashik.
Hope it all works out, Arun. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Port Harcourt.
