Farah needs a powered wheelchair - help us make it happen
A powered wheelchair would give Farah independence - we're $600 away.
🇪🇬 Mansoura, Dakahlia, Egypt1,743 views
Farah lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Mansoura Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Farah could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• powered wheelchair: $575
Thanks for reading all this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Farah?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about delivery and set-up, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you, Faisal. Wishing Farah a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
