Thủ Đức
My lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Thủ Đức Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment My could join the school sports day. 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 $1,150 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $25 If you're reading this, thank you. - Đức

Updates from Đức

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($58 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Thủ Đức: we've started the first stage. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
