Independence for Maria: pair of hearing aids

Maria lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Iloilo City 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 $1,300. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Maria 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,300 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $20 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • pair of hearing aids: $1,235 Thank you so much.
