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. - Adel
