Luke needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Help Luke get a pair of hearing aids so He can speak with the people around him.
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia2,941 views
Luke lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Melbourne Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,400.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Luke could speak with the people around him. 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 $9,400 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $8,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $190
• First-year servicing plan: $260
Every share and every dollar helps.
