Thomas lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Austin Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,200. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Thomas could attend work interviews. 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 $4,200 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $210 • adapted tricycle: $3,750 • Delivery and set-up: $240 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Anthony
