Sarah needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Sarah get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇺🇸 United States1,356 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Rockford General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,800.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $2,800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $2,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• Delivery and set-up: $190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
