🇺🇸 United States3,401 views
Ping lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Reading Rehabilitation Centre 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 $10,550.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Ping could attend work interviews. 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 $10,550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $10,000
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $135
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ping.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. communication tablet with eye tracking is the biggest at $10,000. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
