I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Porto Alegre Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,150. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $2,150 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $1,950 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $105 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rosângela
