Luana needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Luana get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇧🇷 Salvador, Bahia, Brazil2,010 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Salvador Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $1,050 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $840
• Fitting and training sessions: $70
• Delivery and set-up: $70
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

keep going, Luana. This could happen to any of us
Stay strong, Luana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Hubballi.
Sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of Salvador.
