Ribeirão Preto

Samuel lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Ribeirão Preto Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,000. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks. With the right equipment Samuel could go to school independently. 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 $3,000 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,800 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $80 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
