I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Madrid 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 $3,850.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $3,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $180
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Madrid.
Praying for you, Leonardo. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Albuquerque
Hope it all works out, Leonardo. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Memphis.
