Zagazig

Ghassan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Zagazig Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Ghassan 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 $1,200 goes: • powered wheelchair: $1,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $35 Glad we found this place. - Yasir

Updates from Yasir

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($122). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $102 so far, I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) the plan for powered wheelchair is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
