Independence for Abril: pair of hearing aids
Abril needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.
🇦🇷 Santa Fe, Argentina719 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Santa Fe General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $890
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $95
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Take care
so sorry you're going through this, Abril. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
sending love. Wishing Abril a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Mississauga
Keep going. Hope the doctors have good news. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Santa Fe.
