Hanoi

Minh lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Hanoi Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Minh could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $600 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • First-year servicing plan: $50 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $505 Thank you for reading my story. - Toàn
