Bogdana lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Kyiv 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 $1,600. Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Bogdana 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,600 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $50 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,500 • Delivery and set-up: $50 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
