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

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Tariq independence - we're $1,200 away.

Tariq lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Cairo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Tariq could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,200 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,150 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Layla

            Sending good thoughts, Layla. This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

            • Andrés M. Tapia

              Stay strong, Layla. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
