Olof needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Help Olof get a pair of hearing aids so He can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇸🇪 Sweden3,948 views
Olof lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Stockholm Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,300.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Olof 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 $5,300 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $4,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $195
• First-year servicing plan: $155
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Olof?
Thank you. If you're in Stockholm I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
