Elisabeth lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Berlin 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 $7,100. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Elisabeth could join the school sports day. 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 $7,100 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $140 • Delivery and set-up: $170 • First-year servicing plan: $290 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Emilia
