Okechukwu lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Gwagwalada Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,100.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Okechukwu could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
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 $1,100 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,050
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
• Delivery and set-up: $30
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
