Galit needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Galit needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $7,750.
🇮🇱 Israel5,968 views
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.

Hope things get better soon, Galit. I hope things turn around soon
is there anything that isn't money that would help 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.
shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Cebu City
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Galit.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. delivery and set-up is the biggest at $140. Good question.
