Help Yoko get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go to school independently.
Anywhere in the world37 views
Yoko lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Tokyo General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $8,100.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Yoko 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $8,100 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $7,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $275
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
