Independence for Henrik: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Henrik independence - we're $4,800 away.
🇸🇪 Skåne, Sweden2,638 views
Henrik lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Malmö 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 $4,800.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Henrik 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $4,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $110
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $300
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Henrik
Pair of hearing aids is $4,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
