Lorena lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Flint Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,600. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Lorena could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,600 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $135 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $130 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
