Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Nana in Madina
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Nana independence - we're $450 away.

Nana lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Madina 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 $450.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Nana could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $450 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $310
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $55
