Galina needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Galina get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇺🇦 Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine923 views
Galina lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Kyiv General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Galina could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,250 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($50 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
