A powered wheelchair for Hiba: help me move freely
A powered wheelchair would give Hiba independence - we are $1,250 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Cairo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,250 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
