I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Venice 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 $450.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $450 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $170
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Keep going, Alyona. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Praying for you, Alyona. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Keep going, Alyona. Hope you get there.
Best of luck, Alyona. Hope the doctors have good news. God bless.
Praying for you, Alyona. Wishing Alyona a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope February is when things finally get easier. Blessings.

Thanks for sharing this. Wishing Alyona a smooth procedure and a full recovery. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
hope it all works out, Alyona. I hope things turn around soon.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Tel Aviv so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Venice.
