Independence for Graciela: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Graciela independence - we're $4,350 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Alcalá de Henares 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 $4,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $4,350 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,950
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $170
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted!
Wishing you the best, Graciela. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Phoenix
wishing you the best, Graciela. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope it all works out, Graciela. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 29 people at work. God bless
