A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Parvin: help me move freely
Parvin needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $450.

I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Gazipur General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $450.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $450 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $350
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• First-year servicing plan: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Parvin. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Los Angeles.
Thinking of you, Parvin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Wudil.
Hang in there. Wishing Parvin a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Sending strength, Parvin. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Gazipur
Good luck, Parvin. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.

Thanks for sharing this, Parvin. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
You're not alone, Parvin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Istanbul so I could bring a meal. Greetings from San Diego
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Nagoya donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Gazipur.
Sending strength, Parvin. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
