Beersheba
Itzhak lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at the Beersheba 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 $7,650. His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Itzhak 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,650 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $120 • Delivery and set-up: $100 • First-year servicing plan: $180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Noa
