Sergei needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Sergei needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,650.
🇺🇦 Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine759 views
Sergei lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Dnipro General Hospital has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,650.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Sergei 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 $1,650 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Sergei doing now?
Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dnipro.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the doctors have good news. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Dnipro.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Nagpur so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Coatzacoalcos
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Surakarta!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sergei?
Thank you. If you're in Dnipro I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Cầu Giấy.
Best of luck, Olga. Shared it with a few friends.
