Benin City

Bolaji lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Benin City Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a powered wheelchair. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Bolaji could speak with the people around him. 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 $100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $45 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
