A pair of hearing aids for Waleed: help Waleed move freely
A pair of hearing aids would give Waleed independence - we're $200 away.

Waleed lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Salé Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $200.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Waleed 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 $200 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Rami. Your post was clear and honest
Hope things get better soon. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Salé
Any update on how things are going in Salé?
Hang in there, Rami. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Waleed.
Delivery and set-up is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Abuja so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Salé
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about delivery and set-up, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
so sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Los Angeles.
Hang in there, Rami. Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Take care, Rami. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Bangkok donated after I showed her your page.

So sorry you're going through this, Rami. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
