Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Leah in Manchester
Help Leah get an adapted tricycle so She can attend work interviews.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,506 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Manchester Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,950.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $7,950 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $7,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• First-year servicing plan: $155
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
