Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Njeri in Kasarani
An adapted tricycle would give Njeri independence - we're $800 away.

Njeri lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Kasarani Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Njeri could speak with the people around her. 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 $800 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $640
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work.
Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Lucknow this morning
Praying for you, Joseph. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
