Aldo lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Rome General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $250. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Aldo could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $250 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $115 • Delivery and set-up: $50 • First-year servicing plan: $85 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Silvia
