A pair of hearing aids for Manuel: help Manuel move freely
Manuel needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,050.

Manuel lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Iztapalapa 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 $2,050.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Manuel 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $65
• pair of hearing aids: $1,900
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Glad we found this place.

Sending love. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you peace, Jimena. Your post was clear and honest.
Thinking of you and your family, Jimena. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family, Jimena. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Jimena. Hope the doctors have good news.
Sending love, Jimena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
