A pair of hearing aids for Dola: help Dola move freely
Help Dola get a pair of hearing aids so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh1,584 views
Dola lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Narayanganj Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Dola could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,050 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $990
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $10

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dola
Pair of hearing aids is $990 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Wishing you the best, Rahima. Wishing Dola a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
You're not alone, Rahima. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Good luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Blessings
Thinking of you, Rahima. Hope you get there. All the best!
thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Comilla.
