🇺🇸 Florida, United States884 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Tampa Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,600.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $185
• First-year servicing plan: $175
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,240
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bellevue.
You're not alone, Ana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
