Christian lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Montréal General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,750.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Christian could attend work interviews. 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 $3,750 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,450
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• Fitting and training sessions: $140
Thanks for being kind about this.
