Awino needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Awino independence - we're $1,550 away.
🇰🇪 Kenya2,597 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Kasarani 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 $1,550.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,550 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending strength, Awino. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Praying for you. Wishing Awino a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Awino. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Fort Worth donated after I showed her your page
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Kasarani.
