Independence for Mrunal: pair of hearing aids

Mrunal needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,050.

Mrunal lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Kanpur 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 $1,050. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Mrunal 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 $1,050 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $960 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $35 If you're reading this, thank you. - Aishwarya

                  Thinking of you, Aishwarya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
