Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Adeline in San Diego

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Adeline independence - we're $2,750 away.

Adeline lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the San Diego 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 $2,750. Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Adeline 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,750 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $140 • First-year servicing plan: $150 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Keith

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($492 in total) the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled.

  3. Small update. $365 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

    hope you get there. After 19 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Salem!
