Jimma
Yohannes lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Jimma General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Yohannes could attend work interviews. 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 $650 goes: • pair of hearing aids: $560 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
