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.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt2,393 views
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.

Stay strong. Get well soon. We're a small family in Kano but we're thinking of you. Love from Kano.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Chattogram.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the doctors have good news. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Hope things get better soon. Wishing Tariq a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Cairo!
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.
Stay strong, Layla. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
