A pair of hearing aids for Folake: help Folake move freely
Folake needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.
🇳🇬 Nigeria138 views
Folake lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Wudil Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Folake could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $900 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $800
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thanks for being kind about this.

Update from Wudil: the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($10). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
