Anitha lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Pune Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Anitha could attend work interviews. 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 $900 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $790 • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Thank you so much. - Venkat
