Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Anum in Islamabad
A pair of hearing aids would give Anum independence - we're $1,000 away.
🇵🇰 Pakistan944 views
Anum lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Islamabad 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 $1,000.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Anum 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 $1,000 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $940
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $25

is there anything that isn't money that would help Anum?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about pair of hearing aids, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Islamabad
So sorry you're going through this, Mehwish. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Buenos Aires
Hope it all works out, Mehwish. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Pasig
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Islamabad!
