A cochlear implant processor upgrade for In-ho: help In-ho move freely
In-ho needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $500.
🇰🇷 South Korea1,370 views
In-ho lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Seoul Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment In-ho 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 $500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• Fitting and training sessions: $140
• Delivery and set-up: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Jun-seo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($237 in total) the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Stay strong, Jun-seo. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Greetings from Jalandhar.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best!
hope it all works out, Jun-seo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Townsville.
