Independence for Wagner: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Wagner independence - we're $2,850 away.

Wagner lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Belo Horizonte 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 $2,850.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Wagner 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 $2,850 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
