I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Catania Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,800. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,800 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $125 • adapted tricycle: $3,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $225 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Simona
