A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Flávio: help Flávio move freely
Flávio needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,450.

Flávio lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Campinas 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 $1,450.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Flávio could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thank you so much.
