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

A pair of hearing aids would give Laxmi independence - we're $700 away.

Butwal
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Butwal Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $700 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $15 • pair of hearing aids: $650 • First-year servicing plan: $35 Glad we found this place. - Laxmi

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.
