Independence for Ritu: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Ritu independence - we're $800 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Mumbai 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 $800.
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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $740
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $15
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending strength, Ritu. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Wishing you peace, Ritu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. All the best
Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Santos donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Sending good thoughts, Ritu. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Paris
