Natalia needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system will not fund; the cost is $2,400.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Mexicali 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 $2,400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $75
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Thanks for reading all this.
