Giovana needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Giovana needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,700.

Giovana lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Brasília 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 $2,700.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Giovana 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 $2,700 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $2,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Keep going, Rafael. Hope the doctors have good news. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Brasília
