**PLEASE SEE UPDATE BELOW**

Hello! As you may or may not know, our favorite adventure vagabond Gerry is celebrating his 50th birthday on April 16th. To help him mark this occasion, I thought it'd be nice if we could all pitch in to get him some hearing aids. He's been open about struggling with hereditary hearing loss in the past (https://www.instagram.com/p/CYj3_-gJfuT/) and has looked into hearing aids before but found them to be prohibitively expensive. They are unfortunately pretty pricey, but I think if we can all contribute a little bit we could get him a gift that could really make a difference in his life for years to come!

My goal is to buy one of the Jabra Enhance over-the-counter hearing aids: https://www.jabraenhance.com/product. The cheapest starts at $1,200 and goes up to $2,000 for the most premium pair, but they all seem to have universally good reviews.

Please consider contributing what you can and sharing this link with whoever you think would be interested too. Let's see what we can do!
