Independence for Dwi: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Dwi independence - we're $850 away.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Surabaya 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 $850.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $850 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you peace, Dwi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Surabaya.
