Thanaporn needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Thanaporn needs an adapted tricycle that the health system will not fund; the cost is $1,500.
🇹🇭 Thailand1,323 views
Thanaporn lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Bangkok General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Thanaporn 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 $1,500 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $15
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Narong
Update from Bangkok: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 46% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $440 so far, the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled.
