I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Mumbai Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,350 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Parth
