Independence for Kim: pair of hearing aids
Kim needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.

Kim lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Hồ Chí Minh City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Kim could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $720
• Fitting and training sessions: $15
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $50

Wishing you peace, Dương. Get well soon. Take care.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Kim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
