A pair of hearing aids for Efua: help me move freely
Help Efua get a pair of hearing aids so She can go to school independently.
🇬🇭 Ghana2,562 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Kumasi General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $900 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $75
Thank you so much.

sending good thoughts, Efua. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Efua
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. pair of hearing aids comes first ($750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. God bless!
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 26 people at work. Love from Lahore.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you, Efua. Hope the doctors have good news. Sent it to 37 people at work. Thinking of Kumasi.
Best of luck, Efua. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
