I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Sheffield 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 $4,250. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $4,250 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $195 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,950 • Delivery and set-up: $105 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
