A pair of hearing aids for Kirit: help Kirit move freely
A pair of hearing aids would give Kirit independence - we're $550 away.
🇮🇳 Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India635 views
Kirit lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Bhopal 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 $550.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Kirit could attend work interviews. 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 $550 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $450
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $45
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
so sorry you're going through this, Sneha. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
Keep going, Sneha. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Bhopal.
Wishing you peace, Sneha. I hope things turn around soon. Love from San Diego.
