Sacramento
Cristian lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento 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 $7,750. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Cristian 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 $7,750 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $320 • pair of hearing aids: $7,250 • Delivery and set-up: $180 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Araceli

            Thinking of you and your family, Araceli. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sacramento
