🇮🇹 Italy1,241 views
Gabriella lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Latina Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,050.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Gabriella could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,820
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
