A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Meenakshi: help Meenakshi move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Meenakshi independence - we're $850 away.

Meenakshi lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Ludhiana 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 $850.
Her current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Meenakshi could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $850 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $790
Glad we found this place.
