Liliana needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Liliana needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $950.

Liliana lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Medellín Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Liliana could speak with the people around her. 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 $950 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $740
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

rooting for you, Pilar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
So sorry you're going through this, Pilar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Savannah
wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. After 28 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
