Quezon City

Kevin lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City 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 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Kevin 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 $650 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $50 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $560 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
