Serena needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Help Serena get an adapted tricycle so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
Anywhere in the world885 views
Serena lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Milan Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Serena 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $290
• adapted tricycle: $1,815
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($280 in total) I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 10 people at work. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Paola. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
wishing you the best, Paola. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
