Nakuru
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Nakuru 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 $600. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $600 goes: โ€ข cochlear implant processor upgrade: $540 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $35 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $25 I hope life is good to you.
