Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Angelica in Taguig

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Angelica independence - we're $1,000 away.

Angelica lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Taguig 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 $1,000. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Angelica could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,000 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $850 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Hang in there, Patricia. Wishing Angelica a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

    • Auma Eunice Kessy

      Thinking of you and your family, Patricia. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Celaya.
