I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Quezon City 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 $650.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $650 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $500
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $90
I hope life is good to you.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Sending love, Edgardo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
