Genesis lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the London Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,450. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Genesis 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 $6,450 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $6,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $125 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $265 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
