Vinícius lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $900.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Vinícius could get to the shops and visit friends. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $900 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $660
• Fitting and training sessions: $100
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $105
