Independence for Cansu: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Cansu needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,800.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Gaziantep 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 $1,800.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $1,800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
