Isak needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $5,500.

Isak lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Stockholm 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 $5,500.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Isak could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $5,500 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,900
• Fitting and training sessions: $310
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• First-year servicing plan: $215
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Anders. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
is there anything that isn't money that would help Isak?
Hope things get better soon, Anders. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Nagoya.
Wishing you peace. Wishing Isak a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope September is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Praying for you, Anders. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
hope things get better soon, Anders. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
