Julian lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Julian could attend work interviews. 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 $650 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $360 • Fitting and training sessions: $155 • Delivery and set-up: $135 Thanks for reading all this. - Grace

  • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julian

    • It's all in the list in the story. first-year servicing plan is the big one at $360, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

  • Wishing Julian a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Makati.
