A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Liliana: help me move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Liliana independence - we're $4,450 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles 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 $4,450.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $4,450 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,150
• First-year servicing plan: $145
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
Thanks for reading all this.

wishing you peace. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Liliana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 18 people at work.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Thane donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
