A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Chukwuemeka: help Chukwuemeka move freely

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Chukwuemeka independence - we're $750 away.

Chukwuemeka lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at Lagos General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Chukwuemeka could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $750 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $670 • First-year servicing plan: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $40 Thanks for being kind about this. - Dayo
