Dear Alhassan’s Donors,
We do highly thank you for your last donation. Your support made a change for people who use customized wheelchairs in Egypt. Customized Wheelchairs in Egypt are becoming one of the main pillars in our projects to serve people with mobility issues. Providing a customized wheelchair for a person is providing him or her with a vital tool to have a balanced life that helps them to become independent physically and socially.
Rasha’s life has been changed due to your generous donation. Her story starts with a challenge and ends with full independence. Her new customized wheelchair gives her the full power of movement. Before using the tailored wheelchair, she was dependent and not sociable. Her life was crippled by her mobility issue forcing her to stay at home!
With her new customized wheelchair, she has been introduced to a new phase of life. She started working and engaging in new challenges. She starts going from home to work and vice versa using her new customized wheelchair without needing any transportation. The distance takes her 2 kilo meters. She is challenging herself and the society which does not accept differences. Although, every day she faces many challenges from people and the environment surroundings from unpaved pavements and inaccessible transportation till lack of awareness, but still Rasha has a deep hope for changing the mindset of her society. By going out and being independent, messages to society have been delivered that people with mobility challenges are normal ones, but they need accessibility to live a normal life as their abled peers.
We urge you to continue supporting our cause and stay loyal donors to our cause through subscribing to a monthly recurring donation option. That will help wheelchair users in Egypt be more confident and accomplished. Please visit our Facebook page to read other success stories:
