I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Haarlem 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 $500.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $150
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $205
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
take care, Kamal. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
