I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Cluj-Napoca 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 $3,000.
My current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $3,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,800
• First-year servicing plan: $95
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mihaela?

Sending good thoughts, Mihaela. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Cluj-Napoca
