Walker lives with profound hearing loss. 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 $8,900. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Walker could go to school independently. 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 $8,900 goes: • adapted tricycle: $8,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $130 • Delivery and set-up: $185 • First-year servicing plan: $335 Thank you for reading my story.
