Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Antonio in Latina
Help Antonio get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can go to school independently.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy3,258 views
Antonio lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Latina 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 $6,450.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Antonio could go to school independently. 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 $6,450 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $200
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,000
• First-year servicing plan: $250
Every share and every dollar helps.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from San Antonio
Hope it all works out, Matilde. Wishing Antonio a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Wishing you peace, Matilde. Shared this with my family.
So sorry you're going through this, Matilde. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope the doctors have good news. After 16 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
