A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Naresh: help Naresh move freely
Naresh needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system will not fund; the cost is $1,050.
🇮🇳 Rajkot, Gujarat, India1,190 views
Naresh lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Rajkot Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,050.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Naresh 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 $1,050 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $30
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,000
• Delivery and set-up: $20
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
