Help Isha get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so She can attend work interviews.
🇮🇳 India622 views
I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Kochi 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 $1,050.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $910
• Fitting and training sessions: $45
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
