I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Gothenburg General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $750 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • First-year servicing plan: $380 • Delivery and set-up: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Elias
