A pair of hearing aids for Justine: help me move freely
Justine needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,800.
🇫🇷 Brittany, France4,533 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Brest 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 $5,800.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $240
• Delivery and set-up: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
