Independence for Wendy: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Wendy get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Sydney Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $6,100.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $5,750
• First-year servicing plan: $195
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
