Help Emma hear again! I am raising funds to help cover some costs of new hearing aids.

Browns Bay, Auckland

Help me hear the world!

Most of you will know I'm a mum of two, a passionate teacher, and a lifelong lover of music. I've been wearing hearing aids for nearly 15 years due to a degenerative hearing loss that, sadly, continues to progress.

My hearing aids are now at the end of their life, and replacing them is a costly but essential step in staying connected to my family, my students, my music, and the world around me.

Teaching is my calling, and being able to truly hear and respond to my students is so important. But just as important is being present and connected as a mum and wife. Hearing my kids' stories, their laughter, their worries, and their everyday chatter are the moments I never want to miss. As a musician, sound is also a huge part of how I express myself and experience joy.

Your support will help me afford new hearing aids that can keep up with the demands of teaching, parenting, and everyday life. Even a small contribution means so much.

Thank you for helping me stay connected, present, and doing what I love.
