Jennifer needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen

Help Jennifer get a pair of hearing aids so She can join the school sports day.

Jennifer lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,000. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Jennifer could join the school sports day. 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 $6,000 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $5,500 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Fitting and training sessions: $290 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Dustin

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,784 in total) the plan for pair of hearing aids is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Los Angeles: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($1,697). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
