A pair of hearing aids for Babar: help Babar move freely

A pair of hearing aids would give Babar independence - we are $550 away.

Babar lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Faisalabad General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Babar could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $550 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $470 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $25 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
