Rani lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Thane Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $105. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Rani 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $105 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $50 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 • Delivery and set-up: $5 Thank you for reading my story. - Garima
