I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at Cape Coast 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 $1,000.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $1,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $900
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Glad we found this place.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Kweku?
Thank you. If you're in Cape Coast I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
thinking of you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
