Allison lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Albany General Hospital has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,400. Her current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Allison could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,400 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $300 • Fitting and training sessions: $350 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,750 Thanks for being kind about this. - Everett
