A pair of hearing aids for Eduardo: help me move freely
Eduardo needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,950.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles 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 $3,950.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $3,950 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $3,450
• First-year servicing plan: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $120
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Fukuoka.
Best of luck. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Los Angeles
