Independence for Khadija: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Khadija get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can join the school sports day.
🇸🇦 Dammam, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia1,394 views
Khadija lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Dammam 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 $4,800.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Khadija could join the school sports day. 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 $4,800 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $4,550
• First-year servicing plan: $155
• Delivery and set-up: $95
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you peace, Adel. Hope the doctors have good news. Put this on a community board in Niterói this morning. Blessings
Hang in there, Adel. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dammam!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Adel. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too!
Thinking of you and your family. Wishing Khadija a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
