Rahul lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Siliguri Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $500. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Rahul could join the school sports day. 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 $500 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $25 • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $430 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
