Anton lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Saint Petersburg General Hospital 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 $1,500.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Anton could go to school independently. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,300
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $45
• First-year servicing plan: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Kirill. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Keep going, Kirill. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Best of luck, Kirill. Hope you get there. I hope March is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Hope things get better soon. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Sending good thoughts, Kirill. Hope you get there. Love from Bristol
Thinking of you. Get well soon. Greetings from Quezon City
