Young-ho needs an adapted tricycle - help us make it happen
An adapted tricycle would give Young-ho independence - we're $6,800 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Dayton General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,800.
My current equipment is 10 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,800 goes:
• adapted tricycle: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $240
• First-year servicing plan: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending strength, Young-ho. Hope the doctors have good news. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Young-ho?
Thank you. If you're in Dayton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Warren.
Keep going, Young-ho. Hope you get there. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Young-ho
Sure. The biggest one is adapted tricycle, $6,000. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Sending love, Young-ho. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Young-ho. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Dayton
Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless!

Keep going. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Quezon City
