Rebecca lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Cincinnati Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,450. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Rebecca could speak with the people around her. 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 $8,450 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $7,750 • First-year servicing plan: $420 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 Thanks for reading all this. - Nolan
