Independence for Axel: pair of hearing aids

Axel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento 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 $650. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Axel could go to school independently. 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 $650 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $270 • Delivery and set-up: $70 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
