Christina lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Nuremberg General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Christina could go to school independently. 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 $400 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $120 • Delivery and set-up: $140 • Fitting and training sessions: $140 With deep gratitude, Nina
