Focus on a family.
Abdul Kader is 65 years old, he grew up in a poor family and has struggled to make ends meet for much of his adult life. He married in his thirties and for many years worked unofficially as a market porter, helping stall-holders by carrying their heavy loads upon his shoulders.
Abdul Kader became ill and unable to work. Illness coupled with the hard, manual labour of his younger years took its toll and his back is now so damaged that he is unable to walk. With no mobility he has little choice but to sit indoors every single day.
Abdul Kader is looked after by his wife and three grown up daughters all of which are not married and live in the small family home.
This elderly man is not short of love and care but with barely enough money for food purchasing any type of mobility aid is an impossibility for the family.
This family already receive help through our Food Aid programme but with your help we would like to buy Abdul Kader a wheelchair so, that once again he can feel a sense of independence and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors during the last years of his life.
Due to the difficulties in shipping a wheelchair to Algeria It will need to be bought there at a cost of £200.
Thank you so much! the target has been reached- pics coming soon!
