Zahid needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Zahid needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Cox's Bazar Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Zahid?
Thank you. If you're in Cox's Bazar I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck, Zahid. Get well soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Bangkok.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon
