People in Nigeria with Spinal Cord Injury and other Disabilities Urgently Need Your Help!

Persons with spinal cord injury in Nigeria face many challenges such as not being able to obtain proper medications, or even get sufficient food. They are stigmatized and ignored, making it almost impossible for them to make money to support themselves. Most spend most of their time indoors because they don’t have a proper wheelchair ramp to leave their home independently.  Many people with spinal cord injury are living with pressure sores and other medical problems. They are not able to afford going to the hospital for needed care and treatments. Local transportation systems are inaccessible and make no accommodations for wheelchair users.
