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.
🇮🇳 Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India1,235 views
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.

Praying for you, Aishwarya. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Kanpur.
Rooting for you, Aishwarya. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Wishing Mrunal a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Sent it to 6 people at work!
Rooting for you, Aishwarya. Get well soon. Love from Sydney
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Thiruvananthapuram!
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
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.
