A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Qasim: help me move freely
Help Qasim get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can speak with the people around him.
🇫🇷 France2,172 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Poitiers Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $3,950 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,650
• First-year servicing plan: $155
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
