A pair of hearing aids for Violet: help me move freely

Violet needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,600.

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Laredo 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 $6,600. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,600 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $6,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $155 • Delivery and set-up: $180 • First-year servicing plan: $265 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Violet
