Faisalabad
Bilal lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Faisalabad Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Bilal could go to school independently. It would change everyday life for the whole family. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,000 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $920 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 Thank you for reading my story. - Rabia

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Bilal?

      Thank you. If you're in Faisalabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Liya Zewditu Berhe

      Best of luck, Rabia. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

          Sending good thoughts, Rabia. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
