Independence for Pooja: cochlear implant processor upgrade
Pooja needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $600.
🇳🇵 Lalitpur, Bagmati, Nepal683 views
Pooja lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Lalitpur Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Pooja could speak with the people around her. 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 $600 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $560
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing Pooja a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Gopal. Hope you get there. Love from Feira de Santana.
