Guadalupe needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Guadalupe needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,100.
🇺🇸 Missouri, United States2,794 views
Guadalupe lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Springfield 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 $6,100.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Guadalupe could attend work interviews. 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 $6,100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $220
• First-year servicing plan: $390
• pair of hearing aids: $5,490
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Isabel. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Obuasi donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Veracruz but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Springfield.
