I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the East London 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 $1,950.
My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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 $1,950 goes:
β’ communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,750
β’ Fitting and training sessions: $60
β’ Delivery and set-up: $40
β’ First-year servicing plan: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of East London!
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Multan.
