Julian needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Julian get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can attend work interviews.
🇺🇸 United States667 views
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.

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.
