Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Sumaiya in Narayanganj
An adapted tricycle would give Sumaiya independence - we're $650 away.

Sumaiya lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Narayanganj Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Sumaiya could join the school sports day. 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 $650 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• adapted tricycle: $590
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Narayanganj.
Keep going, Nusrat. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Zagazig.
Rooting for you, Nusrat. Wishing Sumaiya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless
Take care, Nusrat. Hope the doctors have good news
Sending love, Nusrat. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
