Independence for Parker: pair of hearing aids

Parker lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the San Jose Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,600. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Parker 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $3,600 goes: โ€ข pair of hearing aids: $3,250 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $110 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $240 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Harper
