Independence for Jyoti: pair of hearing aids
Help Jyoti get a pair of hearing aids so She can speak with the people around her.
🇮🇳 India2,487 views
Jyoti lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the New Delhi Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Jyoti 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 $1,400 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Take care, Anand. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update
Hang in there, Anand. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Nairobi so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Anand. Hope this works out for you. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Anand. I hope things turn around soon.
Keep going, Anand. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of New Delhi.
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update
