Omkar lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Varanasi 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 $1,500. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Omkar could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,500 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,400 • Fitting and training sessions: $60 • Delivery and set-up: $15 • First-year servicing plan: $25 Thanks for reading all this. - Trupti
