A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Pankaj: help me move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Pankaj independence - we're $650 away.
🇮🇳 Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India2,318 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Chennai Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $650.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $650 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $50
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $565
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
