Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Runa in Agra
A cochlear implant processor upgrade would give Runa independence - we're $350 away.
🇮🇳 Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India1,331 views
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Agra 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 $350.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $350 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $280
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Runa
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. first-year servicing plan is the biggest at $20. Ask me anything else.
thanks for sharing this, Runa. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone, Runa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Thinking of you. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Agra.
Hope it all works out, Runa. Hope you get there. Take care
Take care, Runa. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
