Dr Niazi,

I would suggest that you set up a way to accept donations via credit card.
Shipping to Pakistan is expensive.
I believe Alimco in India has a whole line of cost effective prosthetic and
orthotic components which might make more sense to obtain for your part of
the world.

I would be happy to contribute via visa card when your hospital web site is
ready to accept this form of contribution.

Sincerely,

It is the worst quake in the history of Pakistan and also the worst in this
region in 100 years. The current estimate of dead is around 50 thousand and
is increasing in thousands every hour. Life to many survivors would be
meaningless or merely a suffering and frustration if they become crippled.
Many thousands are feared to loose their limbs or getting paralyzed due to
spinal or head injuries. More and more would need splints or orthoses for
their limbs.
Many survivors may undergo surgical procedures for internal fixation of
bones or reconstructive surgery.
Ahead is a big challenge to rehabilitate the people on such a massive scale.

Pakistan.
