Ludhiana
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Ludhiana Mobility Clinic has assessed me and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $300. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $300 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $10 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $280 • Fitting and training sessions: $10 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Nandini

    • Praying for you, Nandini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
