I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the London Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,150. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home. We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,150 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $75 โ€ข cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,750 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $325 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Aditi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($1,286). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($961 in total) I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from London: I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. We're at 6% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Moscow.
