Bhopal

Bhavani lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Bhopal 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 $350. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Bhavani could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $350 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $260 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Lakshmi
