I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Birmingham General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $550 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $100 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • First-year servicing plan: $140 Glad we found this place.

    You're not alone, Nora. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best!

          thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Heliopolis but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Birmingham.
