Usman needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Usman independence - we're $100 away.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria353 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Lagos General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $100 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $15
Thanks for being kind about this.
