🇻🇳 Vietnam1,073 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Thủ Đức Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $700 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $570
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Edinburgh.
Take care, Thắng. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
You're not alone, Thắng. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
