Independence for Pari: cochlear implant processor upgrade
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Pari independence - we're $100 away.

I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at Nagpur General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $25
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
With deep gratitude,
Pari

You're not alone, Pari. This could happen to any of us.
Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from Tijuana.
rooting for you, Pari. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
