Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Obinna in Lagos
Help Obinna get a pair of hearing aids so He can speak with the people around him.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria320 views
Obinna lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Lagos Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Obinna could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $600 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $500
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

sending strength, Dayo. Get well soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. God bless.
sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Lagos.
You're not alone, Dayo. Get well soon
your post was clear and honest. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
