Medellín
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Medellín Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,000 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $40 • Fitting and training sessions: $80 • adapted tricycle: $1,880 Thanks for being kind about this. - Raúl

  1. Small update. $750 so far, the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Medellín: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

        Thanks for sharing this, Raúl. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mohammedia so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Kano
