Independence for Christian: cochlear implant processor upgrade

Christian lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the London Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,100. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Christian could speak with the people around him. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $6,100 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $190 • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $325 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
