Independence for Verónica: pair of hearing aids

Verónica needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,350.

Verónica lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Tijuana Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,350. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Verónica could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,350 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,200 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $80 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Emiliano

Updates from Emiliano

  1. 54% there. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($470 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.

          Rooting for you, Emiliano. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in San Francisco this morning. Thinking of Tijuana
