Dear Alhassan’s Donors,
We do highly thank you for your last donation. Your contribution is changing lives. Your support made a real change for kids who are wheelchair users in Egypt. We knew from the beginning that our kids need to live a normal active life, so we decided to give them the tool to live that life. Providing a customized wheelchair for kids means providing them with a vital tool to have a balanced life that helps them to become independent physically and socially.
Amena started to use a wheelchair since 6 years ago. Your generous donation changed her life; she was totally trapped in her own home and now she is sociable and shining everywhere with her customized wheelchair. At the beginning, Amena spent all her time at home as she didn’t have a suitable and customized wheelchair that can give her the freedom of mobility. She was studying at home and did not go to school as her friends did not accept her physical difference and she was bullied by them.
Now, using her new tailored and customized wheelchair, which was sponsored by your donation, she was able to go to her school and become very proud among her friends. Now, she is back to life. Amena is becoming socially and physically independent. Her dream is joining the Faculty of Fine Arts as she is brilliantly talented in drawing. Kindly check below her drawings. In accordance with Alhassan Foundation, a social awareness campaign will be held at Amena’s school concerning disabilities topics and promoting how to engage with persons with mobility issues.
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:
