Independence for María: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Marían independence - we're $2,000 away.
🇨🇴 Envigado, Antioquia, Colombia2,273 views
María lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Envigado General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,000.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment María could join the school sports day. 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 $2,000 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Inés. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
