Help Hazel get a pair of hearing aids so She can speak with the people around her.
Anywhere in the world6,276 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Memphis General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,250.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $7,250 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $185
• pair of hearing aids: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $315

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Memphis.
Thank you. If you're in Memphis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Memphis.
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
Thinking of you, Hazel. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Worcester
