A pair of hearing aids for Zoe: help me move freely
Help Zoe get a pair of hearing aids so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Massachusetts, United States1,056 views
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Springfield General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
