Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Idowu in Badagry
Help Idowu get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can go to school independently.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria1,191 views
Idowu lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Badagry 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 $100.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Idowu could go to school independently. 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 $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $35
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My neighbor in Rotterdam donated after I showed her your page.
