A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Benjamin: help Benjamin move freely

Benjamin lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Aurora Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,050. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Benjamin could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,050 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $360 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,650 • Delivery and set-up: $40 If you're reading this, thank you.
