Madurai

I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Madurai 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 $550. My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $550 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $45 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $450 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Mansi

Thank you all. We're at 66% now ($363). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.
Quick update: $363 raised so far (66%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Madurai: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
