A pair of hearing aids for Ryan: help Ryan move freely
A pair of hearing aids would give Ryan independence - we're $6,300 away.
🇺🇸 Arlington, Texas, United States3,335 views
Ryan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Arlington 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 $6,300.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ryan could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $6,300 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $170
• pair of hearing aids: $5,990
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,225 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($510). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
