Shubra
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Shubra Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $650 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $600 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $35 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ines
