Fort Worth
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. - Sanjay

        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.
