Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Skylar in Manchester

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Manchester Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,050. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $7,050 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $185 • Delivery and set-up: $175 • First-year servicing plan: $190 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
