Mobility fund: powered wheelchair for Duha in Riyadh
Help Duha get a powered wheelchair so She can attend work interviews.
🇸🇦 Saudi ArabiaPosted Oct 1, 20264,770 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Riyadh General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• powered wheelchair: $3,155
Every share and every dollar helps.

so sorry you're going through this, Duha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Montgomery
I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Machakos.
Thinking of you, Duha. Hope the doctors have good news.
thinking of you, Duha. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Bangkok donated after I showed her your page. Love from Bangkok.

You're not alone, Duha. Get well soon. Don't give up.
