Arief lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Bandung 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 $1,200. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment Arief could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,200 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,100 • Fitting and training sessions: $20 • Delivery and set-up: $10 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Ani

Updates from Ani

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 92% funded and the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($362 in total) I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Ani

  3. Update from Bandung: the plan for first-year servicing plan is now scheduled. We're at 61% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
