A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Lucía: help Lucía move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Lucían independence - we are $10,100 away.
🇺🇸 Joliet, Illinois, United States1,567 views
Lucía lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Joliet General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $10,100.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Lucía could attend work interviews. 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 $10,100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $9,510
I hope life is good to you.
