Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Derya in Haarlem
Help Derya get a pair of hearing aids so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇳🇱 Netherlands3,005 views
Derya lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Haarlem General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,250.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Derya could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $6,250 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $5,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $195
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $145
