Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Yinka in Badagry

A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Yinka independence - we are $550 away.

Badagry
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Badagry Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $550. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $550 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $450 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $30 Glad we found this place. - Yinka

        Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
