Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Ella in Allentown
Ella needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,350.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States3,763 views
Ella lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Allentown Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,350.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Ella 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 $6,350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• pair of hearing aids: $5,990
Thanks for being kind about this.
