A pair of hearing aids for Ricardo: help Ricardo move freely
A pair of hearing aids would give Ricardo independence - we're $1,300 away.

Ricardo lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $1,300.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Ricardo could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $110
• pair of hearing aids: $1,140
Thank you so much.
