Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Priya in Madurai
A pair of hearing aids would give Priya independence - we're $1,300 away.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India2,600 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Madurai 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 $1,300.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,300 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,250
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
