Mercedes lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Tehuacán General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Mercedes could go to school independently. 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 $1,350 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $95 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • pair of hearing aids: $1,205 Thanks for reading all this. - Abril

    rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Tehuacán

    • Vusi W. Naidoo

      Good luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
