Go Fund Ibra's Power Chair

Go Fund IBRA
Ibrahim, Ibra for short, was born in Nairobi, Kenya in Africa in 1996. He was born with athetoid cerebral palsy. He has four younger brothers and one sister. His family moved to the United States when he was 13 years old. His father had to often carry Ibrahim around because he never had a wheelchair. He started at Watkins Mill High School, but at first his family still didn’t have enough money for a wheelchair, so his dad carried him around the school for the first several weeks. The school finally got him a used wheelchair, but since he is now 19 years old, the chair is too small and needs new parts. His parents work several jobs, but cannot afford a new chair for Ibra.
We want to help Ibra, so on May 14th and 15th we had a bake sale. We raised $170.96. Since we still need more money, we hope that people in the community can help Ibra. His chair does not fit him anymore, is uncomfortable, and will make his condition worse over time. He needs cushions to support his back, a proper head support, brakes, and leg supports. We have raised $170.96 so far, but we still need over $7000.00 to fix his chair, and even more to get him a custom powerchair that he could truly benefit from.
This project was created by the students in the LFI (Learning For Independence) program at Watkins Mill High School. Please donate whatever you can to help our friend.
