Rania needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Rania independence - we're $7,400 away.

Rania lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Paris General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,400.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Rania could speak with the people around her. 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 $7,400 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $6,750
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• First-year servicing plan: $275
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Keep going, Mahmoud. Wishing Rania a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hope the doctors have good news. We're a small family in Santarém but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Mahmoud. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Hang in there, Mahmoud. Wishing Rania a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Málaga but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Mahmoud. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Take care, Mahmoud. Hope you get there
Hope things get better soon, Mahmoud. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Take care.
