Raymond needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
Raymond needs a pair of hearing aids that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,550.
🇨🇦 Canada4,217 views
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.

Wishing Raymond a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Good luck, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
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.
Sending good thoughts, Eli. Shared this with my family. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
You're not alone, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Bakersfield this morning. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Mandaue.
Hope things get better soon, Eli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together
