Paul lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Augsburg General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,100. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Paul could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $8,100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $160 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • adapted tricycle: $7,730 Thank you so much. - Lea
