A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Yetunde: help Yetunde move freely
Help Yetunde get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go to school independently.
🇳🇬 Kano, Kano, Nigeria1,751 views
Yetunde lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Kano Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Yetunde could go to school independently. 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 $750 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $700
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
