Independence for Imani: pair of hearing aids
Imani needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $400.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Nairobi General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $400 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• pair of hearing aids: $300
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck, Imani. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Imani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Freiburg so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Imani.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. first-year servicing plan comes first ($45) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Stay strong. Get well soon. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Take care, Imani. Hope this works out for you. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Imani?
