A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Giannis: help Giannis move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Giannis independence - we're $4,800 away.

Giannis lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Athens 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 $4,800.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Giannis could join the school sports day. 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 $4,800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
