I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Knoxville 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 $7,600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $7,600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $260
• pair of hearing aids: $7,250
• Delivery and set-up: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone, Jaxon. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Laredo.
Sending good thoughts, Jaxon. Looking forward to the next update. Take care
Thinking of you and your family. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Jaxon. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Knoxville
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Jaxon. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
