Umar needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Umar independence - we're $100 away.
🇮🇩 Jakarta, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia565 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Jakarta 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 $100.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Quick update: $78 raised so far (78%). the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Jakarta: I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. We're at 50% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
