Teresa needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen

Help Teresa get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go to school independently.

Teresa lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Ann Arbor Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $9,250. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Teresa 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 $9,250 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $8,500 • Fitting and training sessions: $115 • Delivery and set-up: $220 • First-year servicing plan: $415 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  1. Quick update: $439 raised so far (5%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($383). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled.
