Marwan lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mansoura Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Marwan 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $550 goes:
• stair-climbing aid: $430
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Hana
Update from Mansoura: we've started the first stage. We're at 60% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($257 in total) the plan for stair-climbing aid is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Hope things get better soon, Hana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Mansoura!
Keep going. Wishing Marwan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Setagaya.
