🇧🇷 Brazil1,729 views
Manoel lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Santarém 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 $2,300.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Manoel could speak with the people around him. 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 $2,300 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,100
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $110
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manoel
Cochlear implant processor upgrade is $2,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Santarém.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
This could happen to any of us. I hope June is when things finally get easier. God bless.
