Independence for Dolores: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Dolores independence - we're $2,200 away.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Ciudad de México Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,200.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $2,200 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,050
• First-year servicing plan: $110
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
