Reem lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Alexandria General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Reem 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,250 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,150 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aisha
