Change a life
Many of our community members have reached out to share their heartbreaking stories about their struggles to afford hearing aids.
Thanks to those who donated to the Hearing Aid Fund, we were able to gift $500 grants to some very grateful recipients. They were touched and relieved to receive financial support towards their much-needed new hearing aids.
