Tracey needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
Help Tracey get an adapted tricycle so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,051 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Sandton Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,650.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tracey
Adapted tricycle is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from San Jose
sending love, Tracey. Your post was clear and honest.
Keep going, Tracey. Wishing Tracey a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My husband and I read this together. Take care
