Aarav lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Varanasi Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $100. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Aarav could join the school sports day. 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 $100 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $30 • Fitting and training sessions: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $45 Thank you so much.

Updates from Arjun

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $25 raised so far (25%). the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
