A pair of hearing aids for Jagadish: help Jagadish move freely

Jagadish needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.

Jagadish lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Nashik General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Jagadish could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $950 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $860 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $20 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

          Stay strong, Aravind. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
