I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Machakos 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 $850. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $850 goes: โ€ข pair of hearing aids: $750 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $20 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $30 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $50 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
