Faisal needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
Help Faisal get a powered wheelchair so He can speak with the people around him.
🇪🇬 Egypt2,226 views
Faisal lives with muscular dystrophy. 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 $1,150.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Faisal could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,150 goes:
• powered wheelchair: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Taghreed. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
Good luck, Taghreed. Hope this works out for you. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
keep going, Taghreed. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Gdańsk
you're not alone, Taghreed. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update!
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Negombo donated after I showed her your page
Wishing you the best, Taghreed. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Cairo
Stay strong. Get well soon. Love from Caxias do Sul.
