San Jose
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the San Jose 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 $4,850. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $4,850 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $85 • Fitting and training sessions: $410 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,355 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Tyler

  2. Quick update: $843 raised so far (17%). I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($534 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
