The thrift shop on University Avenue is run by the nonprofit Assistance League of Greater San Diego. All proceeds go to eight philanthropies, including the organization's loaner hearing aid program.

"They just care. Caring is the number one thing we need in the world, from everyone," said parent Whitney Smith."Being in the predicament we were in, not getting him a hearing aid at such a young age... I was in tears," she says.

"It was very frustrating to have a child lose a hearing aid. They sat in class with no hearing aid. It was wrong. Then COVID hit, and teachers were wearing masks, so the children could not lip read because they were wearing a mask," said Fischer.
