Phượng needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Phượng needs an adapted tricycle that the health system will not fund; the cost is $100.
🇻🇳 Thủ Đức, Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam315 views
Phượng lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Thủ Đức Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Phượng could attend work interviews. 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 $100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Phượng.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. fitting and training sessions is the biggest at $30. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jakarta Barat.
Wishing you peace, Trang. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Thủ Đức
Wishing Phượng a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Praying for you, Trang. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Thủ Đức!
Sending strength, Trang. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Stay strong, Trang. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Trang. Shared this with my family.
Keep going, Trang. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care
