Dear Alhassan Foundation’s friends, believers & supporters,
We must thank you all for your support, which enabled us to provide 112 customized wheelchairs in the past few months despite all the difficulties facing the world due to the inflation.
In Alhassan FDN we work day and night so that we can provide the physical and financial independence for all wheelchair users in Egypt.
These customized wheelchairs are tailor-made for each case based on his/her weight, height, health condition and needs. It’s made with medically approved materials, and components. It’s also provided with cushions to resist pressure sores & any possible skin irritations. Using customized wheelchairs made wheelers’ daily lives so much easier; consequently, that boosted their self-esteem and physical independence.
We at AlHassan Foundation always aim to be present to serve our members everywhere and in every governorate in Egypt.
This model shows that the wheelchair is the beginning, not the end.
Our story today is about Juma, a 41-year-old man living in Minya Governorate.
Unfortunately, Juma lost the ability to walk as a result of an accident that caused a spinal cord injury and he became a permanent wheelchair user in 2015.
Although Juma lives in a rural Governorate, he did not give up to his injury, but he decided to move to Cairo and joined Alhassan Foundation in 2016 and took a customized wheelchair.
After a short period of time, he joined the wheelchair basketball team and became one of the most important players in the Veterans Club team. We always wish him success and that he achieves his dream of joining the Egyptian wheelchair basketball team.
And because we strongly believe that the wheelchair is not the end, but rather a new beginning, we hope that this will be a better beginning for him.
We want to thank each and every donor or supporter who helps us to achieve this success and we urge you to continue supporting us in our cause, our hope, our dream. You can support us through subscribing to be a recurring donor which helps us secure more funds to help more wheelchairs users and their families.
