I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Dortmund General Hospital 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 $4,050.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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 $4,050 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $260
• Delivery and set-up: $140
• First-year servicing plan: $200
Thank you so much.
