I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Khon Kaen Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $2,350 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $2,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Pimchanok
Good news. Because of your gifts ($421 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $60 so far, I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.
Update from Khon Kaen: I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 2% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Best of luck, Pimchanok. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Epe.
thanks for sharing this, Pimchanok. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Khon Kaen.
Good luck. Wishing Pimchanok a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Leeds.
Rooting for you, Pimchanok. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this, Pimchanok. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
