Anan lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Phuket Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,350. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Anan 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 $2,350 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,250 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $75 Every share and every dollar helps.
