I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Novosibirsk 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 $1,700. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $1,700 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,450 • Fitting and training sessions: $115 • Delivery and set-up: $55 • First-year servicing plan: $80 If you're reading this, thank you. - Danylo

Updates from Danylo

  1. Small update. $716 so far, the plan for fitting and training sessions is now scheduled.

  2. Quick update: $506 raised so far (30%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($310). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
