A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Priya: help Priya move freely
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Priya independence - we're $1,250 away.

Priya lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Chattogram Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,250.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Priya could go to school independently. 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 $1,250 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Thanks for being kind about this.

The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Rooting for you, Dipu. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 11 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Sukkur.
Thanks for sharing this, Dipu. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
