Mthatha
Mthunzi lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Mthatha 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 $2,500. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Mthunzi 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 $2,500 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $2,400 • First-year servicing plan: $40 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nalini

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mthunzi

    • Nalini W. MoodleyOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is pair of hearing aids, $2,400. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

      Sending love, Nalini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Abuja.

      • Ife Chidinma Onyeama

        Keep going. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you.

        • Marcus B. Singh

          Stay strong, Nalini. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it

          • David Singh

            Rooting for you, Nalini. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
