Leonardo lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Contagem General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,600.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Leonardo could go to school independently. 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 $1,600 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $115
I hope life is good to you.
