Cora needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Cora get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,548 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Leeds 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 $7,450.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $7,450 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $85
• First-year servicing plan: $210
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
