Mobility fund: cochlear implant processor upgrade for Sajib in Dhaka
Sajib needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $100.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,434 views
I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Dhaka 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 $100.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $100 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $55
Thank you for reading my story.
