Alcalá de Henares
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Alcalá de Henares Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,200. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $4,200 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $90 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • pair of hearing aids: $3,890 Thank you so much.

          Thinking of you and your family, Sergio. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Pune.

            Best of luck, Sergio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
