Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Sanjay in Fort Worth
Sanjay needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system will not fund; the cost is $7,600.
🇺🇸 Fort Worth, Texas, United States6,949 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Fort Worth General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,600.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $7,600 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $180
• Delivery and set-up: $170
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

this could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Thinking of Fort Worth.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mississauga.
