Raymond lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at London 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 $6,550. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Raymond 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,550 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $160 • Delivery and set-up: $115 • pair of hearing aids: $6,275 Thanks for reading all this.

      Good luck, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

      • Andrew C. Dominguez

        Hope things get better soon, Eli. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
