Anele needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Anele independence - we are $850 away.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,392 views
Anele lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Johannesburg General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Anele 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 $850 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $700
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $65
I hope life is good to you.
