I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Tel Aviv General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,950.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $1,950 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,400
• First-year servicing plan: $300
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
Updates from Keren
Quick update: $249 raised so far (13%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 0% funded and the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.

you're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
