Independence for Priscila: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Priscila independence - we're $1,550 away.
Anywhere in the world2,700 views
Priscila lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Petrópolis Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,550.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Priscila 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 $1,550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• pair of hearing aids: $1,470

Thanks for sharing this, Raimundo. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Stay strong, Raimundo. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Łódź donated after I showed her your page
Best of luck, Raimundo. Hope this works out for you.
You're not alone, Raimundo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Petrópolis!
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Miami.
