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

A pair of hearing aids would give Komal independence - we're $1,050 away.

Komal lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Nagpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Komal 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,050 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $950 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $35 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Vivaan
