Cairo
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Cairo Rehabilitation Centre 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 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $100 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $35 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $40 Thank you so much. - Fatima

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($34 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
