Help Zlata get a pair of hearing aids so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Zlata lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv 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 $1,150. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Zlata 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 $1,150 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zlata.

      • Petro Stanislav SokolovOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. pair of hearing aids comes first ($1,000) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
