Independence for Pallavi: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Pallavi needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $400.
🇮🇳 India1,129 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Nashik Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $400 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $320
• Fitting and training sessions: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $25
I hope life is good to you.
