Esperanza needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Help Esperanza get a pair of hearing aids so She can speak with the people around her.

Esperanza lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Coyoacán Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Esperanza could speak with the people around her. 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 $1,400 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $90
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $60
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
Updates from Emilio
Good news. Because of your gifts ($618 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Esperanza
Pair of hearing aids is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

sending love, Emilio. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Emilio. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Stay strong, Emilio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Best of luck, Emilio. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best!
Best of luck, Emilio. Hope you get there. Greetings from Ikeja.
