Independence for Woo-jin: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Woo-jin independence - we're $3,600 away.
🇺🇸 United States492 views
Woo-jin lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,600.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Woo-jin 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 $3,600 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $230
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
Thank you so much.

Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Los Angeles!
stay strong, Hye-won. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in A Coruña donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from A Coruña.
