Independence for Vignesh: pair of hearing aids
Vignesh needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $900.

Vignesh lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Mumbai Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Vignesh could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $900 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $65
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• pair of hearing aids: $805
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vignesh?
Thank you. If you're in Mumbai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
How is Vignesh doing now?
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
so sorry you're going through this. Looking forward to the next update.
