Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Ramesh in Bhaktapur
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Ramesh independence - we're $800 away.
🇳🇵 Bhaktapur, Bagmati, Nepal848 views
Ramesh lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Bhaktapur General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $800.
His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Ramesh could speak with the people around him. 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 $800 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $20
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $745
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
