This project was intended to buy & deliver walking canes to 100 poor Parkinson patients. The reason was that as the disease progress, disability of PD patients increases and quality of life deteriorates. In advanced stage Walking cane becomes essential. Experience shows that as the disease progresses from one stage to the other, even strong PD patients start to deteriorate quickly and start to expect support of walking aides and/or human care givers for movement from one place to the other. This is the reason to propose this cane supply project.
Let us hear what one PD patient said concerning the diffrence between before and after situation.
PPSO-E: Dear Beneficiery, tell us what were your challenges before cane delivery
Benficiery (K.Kebede): The local stick I were using was short and therefore, I was forced to bend, also it was slippery because there was no protetive rubber at the bottom, I was full of worry because I may fall & damage my bones.
PPSO-E: Dear Beneficiery, tell us what were your changes after cane delivery
Benficiery (K.Kebede): Now that it has rubber at the bottom, length equivalent to my height and that it wwas fine looking, I can confidently walk without worry.
I would like to appreciate the organization for this support.
We ate PPSO-E have been delivering walking sticks to PD patients and this is just one example of changes obderved in the life of one of the beneficieries
