Prakash needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade - help us make it happen
Help Prakash get a cochlear implant processor upgrade so He can attend work interviews.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India1,248 views
I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at the New Delhi 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 $600.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $600 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $480
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• First-year servicing plan: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you, Prakash. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
So sorry you're going through this, Prakash. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Alcalá de Henares

Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
