Red Deer
Reagan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Red Deer 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 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Reagan could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,550 goes: • adapted tricycle: $2,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $170 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $215 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Asher

        best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Kharkiv but we're thinking of you. All the best.

          praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
