Simone needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Simone independence - we're $5,750 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Rome Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,750.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $5,750 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• adapted tricycle: $5,510
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Rome.
Keep going, Simone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Keep going, Simone. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Kaduna!
sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you and your family, Simone. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
