I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Kikuyu General Hospital 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 $1,450.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,450 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,350
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope the doctors have good news. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Toulon but we're thinking of you. Blessings
shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Sacramento.
thinking of you, Karanja. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Hialeah.
Rooting for you, Karanja. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Hanoi so I could bring a meal. Love from Fresno.
