Mwangi needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Mwangi get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can speak with the people around him.
🇰🇪 Machakos, Machakos, Kenya1,798 views
Mwangi lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Machakos 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 $1,500.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Mwangi could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,500 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
