🇮🇳 Delhi, India1,573 views
Dhanush lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Dwarka General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,150.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Dhanush could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,150 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Best of luck, Bharath. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Seville.
hope things get better soon, Bharath. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Dwarka.
Thinking of you, Bharath. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Wish I lived closer to Nîmes so I could bring a meal.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Dwarka.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
