I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Dhaka General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a stair-climbing aid. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $450 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $20 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • stair-climbing aid: $395 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Pavel
