Heliopolis
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Heliopolis Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $550 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $490 • First-year servicing plan: $25 If you're reading this, thank you.
