Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Nevaeh in Sacramento
Help Nevaeh get an adapted tricycle so She can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 California, United States1,355 views
Nevaeh lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,500.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Nevaeh 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,500 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $165
• First-year servicing plan: $385
Thank you for reading my story.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nevaeh.
Sure. The biggest one is adapted tricycle, $5,750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Howard. Hope you get there. Greetings from Gujranwala.
