I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Birmingham 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 $2,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• First-year servicing plan: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
