Arturo needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system will not fund; the cost is $7,550.

Arturo lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Fayetteville Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,550.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Arturo could speak with the people around him. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $7,550 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $290
• pair of hearing aids: $7,000
• Delivery and set-up: $260
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
