Independence for Elias: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Elias get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can speak with the people around him.

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.
