Help Leah get a pair of hearing aids so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Manchester 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 $3,850.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,850 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $3,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $90
• First-year servicing plan: $190
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you
Sending strength, Leah. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Palermo.
Praying for you, Leah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Los Angeles.
