I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Kathmandu General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $400 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Sunil. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. After 9 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
