I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Limoges 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 $2,800.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $300
• Delivery and set-up: $100
• First-year servicing plan: $250
Thanks for being kind about this.

We're at 0% thanks to 1 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($127 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
