Aiden needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Aiden independence - we're $6,400 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at London 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 $6,400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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 $6,400 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $140
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $185
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Aiden. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of London.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Buenos Aires
Good luck. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
