Independence for Massimo: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Massimo independence - we're $5,200 away.
🇮🇹 Brescia, Lombardy, Italy4,692 views
Massimo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Brescia Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,200.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Massimo could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,200 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $4,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $185
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
