    Help my cause - raise $ for a new processor for my cochlear implant? *updated*

    So, today this morning I went to the Cleveland Clinic to check out my cochlear implant I currently have. After 10 years, I found out after testing, that I am due for a upgrade, and I can’t afford to get one – It is $5000, just to get a new processor. The one I currently have is giving me issues – which isn’t good.. because that means, eventually it might stop working then I won't be able to hear.. OR I could repair my processor, which is $500. Either way, I am willing to see how far I can go with this idea. Would anyone consider to help out, purchase a card/print/t-shirt? So I thought, hey, why not can I try here.. anyone willing to help out a little? - Thanks for listening/reading..

    Here's the fundraiser website where you can donate your $ through Paypal: http://www.fundable.com/groupactions...-06.1432625682

    Or

    You can look at my stuff at http://rmcbuckeye.redbubble.com/

    Post on Kijiji and Craigslist too - and maybe a local tv/radio station where you live would be happy to do a small interview and list the website?

    I'll have a good look later.

    Without getting too personal, if you are without a job or insurance, wouldn't you qualify for medicaid? Or SSDI? Isn't there a county agency that could help you??

    Consider starting a collection on www.fundable.com for a portion of the funds.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Just placed an order for a t-shirt. I needed to replace my sleeping shirt -- since I accidentally put it in the hotel laundry -- and it was never seen again. I'm bummed because it had a photo of "Deadhorse Denver" -- the only known cat in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Denver lives at the General Store and is a big love bug!

    Can't wait to get the shirt!

    Oh my gosh, thank you! I appreciate it. Were you the one to purchase the "I Love You" in ASL? Hope you enjoy wearing the t-shirt!

    I designed it in Photoshop. And yes, it's made of cotton -

    If you haven't tried your local Lions, I would; hearing and vision are their special areas. You can also get hearing help from http://www.sotheworldmayhear.org/hearnow/ , and I think they do CIs, although I can't guarantee it.
