Kraków

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Kraków 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 $3,200. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $3,200 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $170 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,000 • Delivery and set-up: $30 I hope life is good to you.
