Mobility fund: pair of hearing aids for Yohannes in Jimma
Yohannes needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.
🇪🇹 Jimma, Oromia, Ethiopia713 views
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.
