Independence for Mpho: cochlear implant processor upgrade

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Mpho independence - we are $1,200 away.

Soweto
Mpho lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Soweto 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 $1,200. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Mpho 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,200 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
