A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Paul: help Paul move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Paul independence - we're $1,100 away.

Paul lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Gwagwalada 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 $1,100.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Paul could join the school sports day. 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 $1,100 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $960
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope things get better soon, Idowu. Hope you get there. Greetings from Dhaka
Stay strong. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Hope the doctors have good news. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Idowu. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from London.
Sending strength, Idowu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Springfield
Take care, Idowu. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Hope it all works out, Idowu. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 5 people at work. Take care
thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Bristol.
Sending strength, Idowu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
Sending good thoughts, Idowu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Santos so I could bring a meal.
