Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Mariana in Londrina
An adapted tricycle would give Mariana independence - we are $1,300 away.
🇧🇷 Londrina, Paraná, Brazil972 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Londrina Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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 $1,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• adapted tricycle: $1,215
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Londrina
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning.
Praying for you. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Munich.
Keep going, Mariana. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
