Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Elaine in Petrópolis

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Petrópolis Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. 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 $2,150 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $130 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $105 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Elaine
