Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Kwadwo in Accra
Kwadwo needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,200.
🇬🇭 Accra, Greater Accra, Ghana483 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Accra Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200.
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 attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
