Vivian lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Liverpool Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,950. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Vivian 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,950 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $250 • First-year servicing plan: $180 • adapted tricycle: $7,520 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      Sending good thoughts, Randall. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Bucaramanga.

        Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
