Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Ivy in Liverpool
Help Ivy get a pair of hearing aids so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,946 views
Ivy lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Liverpool Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,400.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Ivy 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• pair of hearing aids: $3,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $125
Thanks for being kind about this.
