Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Priscila in Guarulhos
Help Priscila get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Guarulhos Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,400.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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:
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,250
• First-year servicing plan: $115
If you're reading this, thank you.
