Obuasi
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Obuasi 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 $950. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $950 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $840 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $25 I hope life is good to you. - Theresa

      This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from São Paulo.

                    Sending good thoughts, Theresa. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Kumasi.
