Independence for Chukwuemeka: cochlear implant processor upgrade

Chukwuemeka lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Kaduna Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Chukwuemeka could attend work interviews. 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 $500 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $380 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Chidi
