Patrizia needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Patrizia independence - we're $6,000 away.
🇮🇹 Lombardy, Italy1,742 views
Patrizia lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Brescia Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,000.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Patrizia could speak with the people around her. 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 $6,000 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• Fitting and training sessions: $170
• adapted tricycle: $5,745
Every share and every dollar helps.

take care, Valentina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Wiesbaden.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Kozhikode.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Patrizia?
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Nagpur donated after I showed her your page
rooting for you, Valentina. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrizia.
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Adama but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Brescia.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Chicago but we're thinking of you.
Hope it all works out, Valentina. Get well soon. Please keep us posted
praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Take care.
you're not alone, Valentina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Brescia
