Howrah
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Howrah Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $600. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $600 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $500 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $45 Thank you for reading my story. - Amol

      Sending love, Amol. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.

        Thinking of you, Amol. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Howrah.

        • Fatuma Esther Salim

          Hang in there, Amol. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

          • Zainab Fatima Ghani

            Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from San Diego.

            • Cecilia H. Dizon

              sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Columbus

              • Umesh S. Chaudhary

                Thanks for sharing this, Amol. Hope you get there. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
