A pair of hearing aids for Naomi: help me move freely
Help Naomi get a pair of hearing aids so She can go to school independently.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Sydney General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,600.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $7,600 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• pair of hearing aids: $7,270
Thank you so much.

Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Palermo so I could bring a meal. Take care.
hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Sydney.
praying for you, Naomi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Keep going. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page
Best of luck, Naomi. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Love from Istanbul.
