I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Haifa Mobility Clinic 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 $7,150. My current equipment is 9 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,150 goes: โ€ข communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,750 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $115 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $285 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,068 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
