Independence for Yoon-ah: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Yoon-ah independence - we're $4,800 away.

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Gangnam 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 $4,800.
My current equipment is 10 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $4,500
• First-year servicing plan: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $105
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Yoon-ah?
Sending good thoughts, Yoon-ah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Odesa
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 7 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Curitiba.
so sorry you're going through this, Yoon-ah. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Gangnam!
