Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Rakib in Narayanganj
Rakib needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.

Rakib lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Narayanganj General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Rakib 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 $1,050 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $960
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Glad we found this place.
