A powered wheelchair for Rashid: help Rashid move freely
Help Rashid get a powered wheelchair so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt802 views
Rashid lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Cairo General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Rashid could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $700 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $670
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.
