I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at Nairobi 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 $950. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 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 $950 goes: โ€ข communication tablet with eye tracking: $810 โ€ข Fitting and training sessions: $65 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $35 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Zawadi

  • is there any paperwork, like the supplier's quote, that backs this up?

    • Zawadi KaranjaOwnerAnswer

      I do, the supplier's quote is with the HelpBLESS team. Happy to answer anything else about it. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Wishing Zawadi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. After 25 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything

    • Sending strength, Zawadi. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Love from Joliet.
