Independence for Fatima: pair of hearing aids
Fatima needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Lahore General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $900 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $790
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
