Tiruchirappalli

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the Tiruchirappalli Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,300. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,300 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,230 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Sanjay

Updates from Sanjay

Thank you all. We're at 22% now ($287). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $185 raised so far (14%). I made the first payment toward cochlear implant processor upgrade. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Hope things get better soon, Sanjay. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
