Independence for Gabriela: pair of hearing aids

A pair of hearing aids would give Gabriela independence - we're $6,350 away.

Baton Rouge
Gabriela lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Baton Rouge General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,350. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Gabriela could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,350 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $5,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $410 • Delivery and set-up: $135 • First-year servicing plan: $305 I hope life is good to you. - Ángel

    Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from New Delhi.
