Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Vinod in Nashik
A pair of hearing aids would give Vinod independence - we're $1,250 away.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, IndiaPosted Oct 1, 20261,837 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Nashik 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 $1,250.
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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Take care!
How is Vinod doing now?
So sorry you're going through this, Vinod. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Kinondoni.
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Magelang.
wishing you peace, Vinod. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Nashik.
Get well soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Surat.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
