A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Rasha: help me move freely
Rasha needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $800.
🇪🇬 Mansoura, Dakahlia, Egypt1,588 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Mansoura Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $690
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thank you so much.

Rooting for you, Rasha. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
