Lucy lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Machakos 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 $550. Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Lucy could attend work interviews. 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 $550 goes: โ€ข cochlear implant processor upgrade: $430 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $60 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $10 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Naliaka
