Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Maya in Saskatoon
Maya needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,550.
🇨🇦 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada704 views
Maya lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Saskatoon General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,550.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Maya could attend work interviews. 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 $2,550 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $350
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• adapted tricycle: $2,115
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Pasig.
