Independence for Tomás: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Tomás independence - we're $1,100 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Buenos Aires 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 $1,100.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $1,100 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $990
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $85
Every share and every dollar helps.
