Independence for Jae-hyun: cochlear implant processor upgrade

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Jae-hyun independence - we are $300 away.

Jae-hyun lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Gangnam General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $300. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Jae-hyun could go to school independently. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $300 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $85 • First-year servicing plan: $140 • Fitting and training sessions: $75 Thanks for reading all this.
