Garima needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
A pair of hearing aids would give Garima independence - we're $2,600 away.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom531 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Liverpool Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,600.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $2,600 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $200
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Garima. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Garima. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Liverpool!
So sorry you're going through this, Garima. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We're a small family in Charlotte but we're thinking of you. All the best.
