Haritha needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Haritha needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,400.
🇮🇳 India1,977 views
Haritha lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Madurai 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 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Haritha could get to the shops and visit friends. 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: $1,300
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
