Trisha needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen

Trisha needs an adapted tricycle that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,000.

Quezon City
Trisha lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Quezon City General Hospital has assessed her and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Trisha could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,000 goes: • adapted tricycle: $880 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $55 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Allan

Updates from Allan

  1. Small update. $135 so far, the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Quezon City: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

            Wishing Trisha a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
