Hoa lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Thủ Đức General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Hoa could speak with the people around her. 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 $100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hải
