Independence for Claire: pair of hearing aids
Help Claire get a pair of hearing aids so She can join the school sports day.
Anywhere in the world2,958 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Grenoble Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,950.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,950 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $160
With deep gratitude,
Claire
Updates from Claire
Good news. Because of your gifts ($409 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

This could happen to any of us. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Claire. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Grenoble.
Stay strong, Claire. Your post was clear and honest. After 17 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family, Claire. Hope you get there. Take care!
Hope it all works out, Claire. Shared this with my family
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Claire a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Orlando
