Gangnam
Ga-eun lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Gangnam Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a braille note-taker. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,050. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Ga-eun could speak with the people around her. 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 $5,050 goes: • braille note-taker: $4,600 • Fitting and training sessions: $155 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • First-year servicing plan: $180 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

                        • Hope it all works out, Eun-kyung. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Gangnam
