Hải Phòng

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Hải Phòng General Hospital has assessed me and recommended an adapted tricycle. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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: • adapted tricycle: $500 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $25 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Yến

Good news. Because of your gifts ($231 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Hải Phòng: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

so sorry you're going through this, Yến. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

Keep going, Yến. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Hải Phòng.
