Independence for Monika: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Monika independence - we're $6,100 away.

Monika lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Berlin 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 $6,100.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Monika 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 $6,100 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $285
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

thinking of you. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Berlin
praying for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Wish I lived closer to Kano so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Berlin
sending strength, Sebastian. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
wishing you peace, Sebastian. This could happen to any of us. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
