I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Tel Aviv General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $5,000. My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,000 goes: โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $100 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $270 โ€ข communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,630 With deep gratitude, Gili

  • Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

    • Hang in there, Gili. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Kobe.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gili

          Sure. The biggest one is delivery and set-up, $100. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • This could happen to any of us. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything

        • I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Ottawa but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Tel Aviv.

          • sending love. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

            • Hope it all works out, Gili. Hope you get there. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
