Lester lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Lester 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 $450 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $390 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Gianna

  • Stay strong, Gianna. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

      • This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Quetta.
