Mobility fund: adapted tricycle for Yuki in Tokyo

An adapted tricycle would give Yuki independence - we're $2,550 away.

Tokyo
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Tokyo General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,550. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $2,550 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $150 • adapted tricycle: $2,300 • First-year servicing plan: $100 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Yuki

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yuki?

    • Yuki TakedaOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

      Thank you. If you're in Tokyo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.

  • Piper E. SteeleID verified

    Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Duluth.

    • Rosângela Josiane Vasconcelos

      Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 4 people at work.

      • Diana Anna KorolevQuestion

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yuki

        • Yuki TakedaOwnerAnswerID verifiedPhoto verified

          The list at the bottom is the whole picture. delivery and set-up is the biggest at $150. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Fabrice Yann Marchand

        hang in there, Yuki. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Pune

        • Grace F. Keller

          Stay strong, Yuki. Wishing Yuki a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!

              a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Tokyo. I'll ask around and let you know

              • Suresh J. Malhotra

                Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
