San Jose
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the San Jose 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 $6,050. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $6,050 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $390 • Delivery and set-up: $80 • First-year servicing plan: $330 Thank you so much. - Dylan

        wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
