Mandeville
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Mandeville General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $200 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $70 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sheldon

        sending good thoughts, Sheldon. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Berlin so I could bring a meal. God bless.
