Ilham lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ilham 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Thanks for reading all this.

take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
You're not alone, Lia. Shared this with my family.
Take care. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
best of luck. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
