A pair of hearing aids for Vivian: help me move freely
A pair of hearing aids would give Vivian independence - we're $950 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $950 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $850
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I hope life is good to you.
- Vivian

Rooting for you, Vivian. This could happen to any of us
Thanks for sharing this, Vivian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lahore
Take care, Vivian. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Lagos
Sending good thoughts, Vivian. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Lagos
