Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Yinka in Wudil
An adapted tricycle would give Yinka independence - we're $550 away.
🇳🇬 Nigeria1,525 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Wudil General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $550 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• adapted tricycle: $460
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yinka?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about first-year servicing plan, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Hope it all works out, Yinka. Looking forward to the next update.
Hope it all works out. Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Barcelona
sending strength. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Bristol.
Praying for you, Yinka. Wishing Yinka a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yinka.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first-year servicing plan comes first ($45) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Eindhoven
How is Yinka doing now?
sending love, Yinka. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My husband and I read this together.
Hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Keep going, Yinka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care.
