Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Benny in Tel Aviv
A pair of hearing aids would give Benny independence - we're $6,900 away.
🇮🇱 Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel4,255 views
Benny lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Tel Aviv 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 $6,900.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Benny 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,900 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $180
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Sivan. Hope the doctors have good news. I hope October is when things finally get easier
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Embakasi this morning
Sending strength. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Sivan. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Tel Aviv
praying for you, Sivan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from São Paulo!
