Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Kumar in Aurangabad
Kumar needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,500.
🇮🇳 Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India1,024 views
Kumar lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Aurangabad Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,500.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment Kumar could go to school independently. 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 $1,500 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $1,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $50
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
