Salim needs a pair of hearing aids - help us make it happen
A pair of hearing aids would give Salim independence - we're $400 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Arusha General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $400 goes:
• pair of hearing aids: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
