Isaiah lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Liverpool Rehabilitation Centre 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 $2,500.
His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Isaiah 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 $2,500 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,150
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $150
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Julia. Wishing Isaiah a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Thinking of you, Julia. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Put this on a community board in Liverpool this morning. Blessings.
sending love, Julia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best.
