Rubel lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Dhaka 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 $850. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Rubel could get to the shops and visit friends. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $850 goes: • cochlear implant processor upgrade: $750 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $20 Thanks for being kind about this. - Pavel

Updates from Pavel

  1. Quick update: $565 raised so far (66%). I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Small update. $450 so far, the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($174). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Sacramento donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
