Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Rolando in Fort Worth
Rolando needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $8,550.

Rolando lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Fort Worth Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,550.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Rolando could speak with the people around him. 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 $8,550 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $8,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $175
• First-year servicing plan: $375
Thank you for reading my story.

how is Rolando doing now?
Praying for you, Ismael. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Suwon so I could bring a meal
Sending love, Ismael. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
