Los Angeles

I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Los Angeles 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 $8,750. 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 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 $8,750 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $135 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $8,255 With deep gratitude, Nolan
