Help Spinal Cord Injuries Association of Nigeria, SCIAN by Donating detachable manual and electric wheelchairs for Spinal Cord injured persons, young and old
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Without a wheelchair, spinal cord injured persons cannot move around. The elderly ones and those who can't wheel themselves would need electric wheelchairs. To avoid pressure sores, cushions are also required for the wheelchairs. Our members also need air or water mattresses to avoid developing pressure sores. Urine (leg) bags and adult diapers are needed to address incontinence issues.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
