Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Waleed in Nice
Waleed needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,000.
🇫🇷 Nice, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France676 views
Waleed lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Nice 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 $3,000.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Waleed could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $3,000 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $2,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $245
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Tariq. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bhaktapur.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Juiz de Fora!
