Independence for Juan: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Juan independence - we're $1,800 away.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,007 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Irapuato 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 $1,800.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,700
• Delivery and set-up: $40
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Juan
Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($262). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up.
