Rick needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
A pair of hearing aids would give Rick independence - we're $8,250 away.
🇳🇱 Breda, North Brabant, Netherlands764 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Breda Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,250.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $8,250 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $360
• pair of hearing aids: $7,750
• First-year servicing plan: $140
With deep gratitude,
Rick

take care, Rick. Your post was clear and honest
Sending love, Rick. Wishing Rick a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Breda.
Thinking of you, Rick. Looking forward to the next update
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
