Neelam needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
A pair of hearing aids would give Neelam independence - we're $1,100 away.

Neelam lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Kanpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Neelam could go to school independently. 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 $1,100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• pair of hearing aids: $1,050
• Delivery and set-up: $25

Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($190). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.
