Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Nicholas in San Francisco
Nicholas needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the San Francisco Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• Fitting and training sessions: $390
• First-year servicing plan: $275
With deep gratitude,
Nicholas
