A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Usha: help Usha move freely
Help Usha get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can speak with the people around her.
🇮🇳 India1,399 views
Usha lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Aurangabad 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 $700.
Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Usha could speak with the people around her. 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 $700 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $620
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

how is Usha doing now?
Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 13 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. All the best.
wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
