Mi-young lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Lexington 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 $3,850.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Mi-young could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $3,850 goes:
โข cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,300
โข Fitting and training sessions: $160
โข Delivery and set-up: $155
โข First-year servicing plan: $235
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mi-young
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. cochlear implant processor upgrade comes first ($3,300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Arlington
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care!
Wishing Mi-young a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning
Best of luck, Jin-ah. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Heliopolis this morning. God bless
