I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at the Dwarka 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 $800.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $800 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $730
• First-year servicing plan: $45
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Sathish. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Sathish. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Oaxaca de Juárez
hope it all works out. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. It's not much but it's yours.
so sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 29 people at work. Love from Lagos.
Good luck, Sathish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Manchester so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Dwarka.
Best of luck, Sathish. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Stay strong. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Thinking of Dwarka.
