Alexander lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at London General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Alexander could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family. 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 $650 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $95 • First-year servicing plan: $240 • Fitting and training sessions: $315 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Hailey

Quick update: $265 raised so far (41%). I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($115). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Hailey
