Independence for Priya: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Help Priya get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can get to the shops and visit friends.
🇿🇦 Western Cape, South Africa1,988 views
Priya lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the George 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 $700.
Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Priya could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $700 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $80
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $590
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Lindiwe. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
stay strong, Lindiwe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best!
Hope things get better soon, Lindiwe. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Madrid.
stay strong, Lindiwe. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of George.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
Stay strong, Lindiwe. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
hang in there. Get well soon!
