A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Taylor: help Taylor move freely
Help Taylor get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go to school independently.
🇺🇸 United States1,197 views
Taylor lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Sacramento Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,300.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Taylor could go to school independently. 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 $6,300 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $380
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,750
• Delivery and set-up: $170
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon, Megan. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Sacramento.
Sending strength, Megan. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care.
Praying for you, Megan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Bonny
Stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Sacramento.
