I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Da Nang Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $450 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $330
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tài
It's all in the list in the story. adapted tricycle is the big one at $330, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
sending good thoughts, Tài. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Amritsar.
