Guilherme lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Santos 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 $1,400. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Guilherme 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 $1,400 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $50 I hope life is good to you.
