Tel Aviv
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Tel Aviv 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 $7,750. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $7,750 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $140 • Fitting and training sessions: $100 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,510 Glad we found this place. - Galit

              Thank you. If you're in Tel Aviv I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
