Independence for Sorin: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Sorin get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can go outside without waiting for someone to push.
🇷🇴 Timișoara, Timiș, Romania3,407 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Timișoara 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 $2,500.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $2,500 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,350
• First-year servicing plan: $75
If you're reading this, thank you.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Saint Petersburg.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Sorin?
Thank you. If you're in Timișoara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Good luck, Sorin. This could happen to any of us.
Sending love, Sorin. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
wishing you peace, Sorin. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Stay strong, Sorin. Your post was clear and honest
