Independence for Utami: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Utami independence - we're $100 away.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia396 views
Utami lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta 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 $100.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Utami 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Utami
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. delivery and set-up comes first ($30) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Rennes.
looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Jakarta.
thinking of you, Joko. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Columbus
