Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Esther in Lagos
Help Esther get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can join the school sports day.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria2,026 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Lagos Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $850.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $850 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $760
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $20
I hope life is good to you.
