Independence for Aadhya: cochlear implant processor upgrade

Help Aadhya get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can attend work interviews.

Aadhya lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Aurangabad General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,200. Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Aadhya could attend work interviews. 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 $1,200 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,150 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.
