Cristiane needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Help Cristiane get a pair of hearing aids so She can join the school sports day.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil250 views
Cristiane lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at São Paulo General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $150.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Cristiane could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $150 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $85
• Delivery and set-up: $20
Every share and every dollar helps.

I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
- Restored my faith in humanity
This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.
- Made me feel heard
The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cristiane.
First-year servicing plan is $45 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Jimma donated after I showed her your page
sending love, Paulo. This could happen to any of us.
Hope it all works out. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. God bless!
You're not alone, Paulo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update.
sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Kharkiv
