I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Athens 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 $3,400.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $125
• Fitting and training sessions: $190
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,085
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Quick update: $308 raised so far (9%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Quick update: $250 raised so far (7%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
We're at 6% thanks to 1 of you. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. More news soon.

Hope it all works out, Georgios. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Best of luck, Georgios. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Karachi!
