Serenity lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Townsville General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,150. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Serenity could go to school independently. 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 $7,150 goes: โ€ข pair of hearing aids: $6,500 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $400 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $55 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $195 Thank you for reading my story. - Weston

  • Wishing Serenity a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Ahmedabad.

    • Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Lagos.

      • Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Townsville.

        • Wishing you the best, Weston. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Guadalajara donated after I showed her your page. Love from Guadalajara
