🇨🇴 Colombia897 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Barranquilla 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 $1,850.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $1,850 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $75

good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Alcalá de Henares but we're thinking of you. Take care.
