São Paulo
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $250. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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 $250 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $95 • Delivery and set-up: $80 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Patrícia

Updates from Patrícia

  1. Update from São Paulo: I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.

      This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Gazipur.
