Jan lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Eindhoven 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 $5,100. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Jan could speak with the people around him. 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 $5,100 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,400 • Fitting and training sessions: $230 • Delivery and set-up: $165 • First-year servicing plan: $305 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Marseille!
