Independence for Gennaro: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Gennaro independence - we're $5,450 away.
🇮🇹 Rome, Lazio, Italy5,497 views
Gennaro lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Rome 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 $5,450.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Gennaro could speak with the people around him. 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 $5,450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $260
• pair of hearing aids: $4,950
• First-year servicing plan: $240
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Gennaro doing now?
Rooting for you, Viola. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
Best of luck, Viola. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Jerusalem.
Stay strong, Viola. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
