🇪🇬 Egypt1,570 views
Ghassan lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Cairo Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Ghassan 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 $750 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $670
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $35
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ghassan
Cochlear implant processor upgrade is $670 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of Cairo
