Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Paolo in Latina

Paolo needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $2,850.

Latina
Paolo lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Latina 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 $2,850. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Paolo 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 $2,850 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,600 • Delivery and set-up: $45 • Fitting and training sessions: $205 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Anna

      So sorry you're going through this, Anna. Hope you get there. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
