Beverly Blake, 72, of Gray, recently received a set of hearing aids at no cost through a donation from the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation.

“Beltone has always had the mission of helping the world hear better through our products and professional hearing care services, said Beltone President Todd Murray. “This foundation gives us a new path to achieve this mission by helping deserving individuals and organizations in their communities enrich their quality of life.”

Blake suffered a family tragedy when her son was paralyzed in a car accident when he was 20. She cared for him in her home until he passed away a few years ago at the age of 42. The circumstance left her only able to work part time while caring for her injured son and her other children. This put a financial strain on her family and, due to limited income and not qualifying for credit, she has been unable to afford new hearing aids while in need of them.

“I am extremely grateful for what Beltone has done for me,” said Blake. “Their generosity is beyond belief and I will never forget their wonderful and kind act as long as I live. It’s a dream come true.”

“We are completely ecstatic to be able to help Beverly Blake, who is a wonderful person in such need,” said Michael Andreozzi, president and CEO of Beltone New England. “She is truly deserving and a very caring individual who needed our assistance. We’ve changed her life for the better and that’s what the Beltone Hearing Care Foundation is all about.”
