Thierry lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Boulogne-Billancourt General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,750. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Thierry could go to school independently. 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 $2,750 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $110 โ€ข cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,400 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $240 With deep gratitude, Patrick
