I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Vitória da Conquista Rehabilitation Centre 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 $2,550. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. 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 $2,550 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,350 • Fitting and training sessions: $85 • Delivery and set-up: $35 • First-year servicing plan: $80 I hope life is good to you.

    thanks for sharing this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
