Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Marisol in Los Angeles

Help Marisol get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

Marisol lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Los Angeles General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $950. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Marisol could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $950 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $380 • Delivery and set-up: $155 • First-year servicing plan: $415 I hope life is good to you.

                Take care, Francisco. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
