Munich
Günter lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Munich Mobility Clinic 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 $7,350. His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Günter 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 $7,350 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $110 • Delivery and set-up: $75 • First-year servicing plan: $165 I hope life is good to you. - Julia

Updates from Julia

  1. Quick update: $2,525 raised so far (34%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($997 in total) I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
