Shazia lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Rawalpindi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Shazia could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,100 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $50 โ€ข pair of hearing aids: $1,025 Thanks for reading all this. - Saima

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Shazia.

    • Saima Sumbal MemonOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      Sure. The biggest one is delivery and set-up, $25. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.

  • You're not alone, Saima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings

    • So sorry you're going through this, Saima. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.

      • Wishing you peace. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.

        • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Take care
