Liton lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Gazipur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Liton could go to school independently. 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 $550 goes: • stair-climbing aid: $480 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $25 If you're reading this, thank you.

    Stay strong, Nargis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update.
