I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Bristol Rehabilitation Centre 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 $8,500. My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $8,500 goes: โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $210 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $270 โ€ข communication tablet with eye tracking: $8,020 Thanks for being kind about this. - Jordan

        sending good thoughts, Jordan. Shared it with a few friends

        • Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Bristol.

          • Hang in there, Jordan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Jose.
