A pair of hearing aids for Aleena: help me move freely
Aleena needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $350.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Multan Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $350.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $350 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $250
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Aleena. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Aleena. Get well soon.
Wishing you peace, Aleena. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Jeddah donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
good luck. Hope you get there. Don't give up.
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Multan.
