Łódź
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Łódź Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $1,200 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $900 • Fitting and training sessions: $130 • Delivery and set-up: $60 • First-year servicing plan: $110 If you're reading this, thank you.
