Runa needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Runa needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $300.

Runa lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Gazipur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $300.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Runa could join the school sports day. 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 $300 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• adapted tricycle: $265
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Asif
Small update. $74 so far, I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.
Update from Gazipur: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
