A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Alessia: help me move freely
Help Alessia get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy1,256 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Rome General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,100.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $190
