Paula needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Paula needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,500.

Paula lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Córdoba Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Paula could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,500 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Javier. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Córdoba!
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about adapted tricycle, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.
sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Javier. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Athens donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
