Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Yasmin in Paris
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Yasmin independence - we're $4,350 away.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Paris 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 $4,350.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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 $4,350 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $3,800
• First-year servicing plan: $280
With deep gratitude,
Yasmin

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Birmingham!
Wishing you peace. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. After 13 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Paris.
