Julien lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Boulogne-Billancourt 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 $2,600. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Julien 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 $2,600 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,900 • Fitting and training sessions: $310 • Delivery and set-up: $110 • First-year servicing plan: $280 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Kévin
