Montego Bay
Sherika lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Montego Bay Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Sherika could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,150 goes: โ€ข pair of hearing aids: $1,050 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $60 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $40 Every share and every dollar helps. - Andre
