A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Sibusiso: help me move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Sibusiso independence - we're $150 away.

I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Johannesburg 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 $150.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $150 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $45
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
Thanks for reading all this.
