Help Susanne get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can join the school sports day.
Anywhere in the world1,755 views
Susanne lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Berlin Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $4,850.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Susanne 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 $4,850 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $310
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Susanne?
Sending love. Wishing Susanne a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 7 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Best of luck, Franziska. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Iloilo City this morning.
