Raimundo lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Petrópolis Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,950. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Raimundo could attend work interviews. It would change everyday life for the whole family. 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 $1,950 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,750 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
