Independence for Mim: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Mim get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom6,020 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Sheffield 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 $6,250.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $6,250 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $135
• First-year servicing plan: $305
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you. Wishing Mim a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dwarka
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
You're not alone, Mim. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Kitakyushu this morning.
stay strong, Mim. Wishing Mim a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
