🇲🇽 Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México, Mexico986 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Ciudad de México 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 $700.
My current equipment is 15 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $700 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $560
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Gonzalo. Wishing Gonzalo a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cairns.
Hang in there, Gonzalo. Wishing Gonzalo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything
So sorry you're going through this, Gonzalo. Wishing Gonzalo a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Wishing you peace, Gonzalo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from London.
