Luís needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
A pair of hearing aids would give Luís independence - we're $2,400 away.
🇧🇷 Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil616 views
Luís lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Duque de Caxias Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,400.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Luís could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• pair of hearing aids: $2,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
With deep gratitude,
Juliana

Good news. Because of your gifts ($345 in total) the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
