Üsküdar
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Üsküdar Mobility Clinic 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 $1,650. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $1,650 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $20 • Fitting and training sessions: $45 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,585 If you're reading this, thank you.
