I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at the Indore 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 $1,200.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 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 $1,200 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $40
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,145
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward communication tablet with eye tracking. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

you're not alone, Gaurav. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Indore.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gaurav
Fitting and training sessions is $40 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
Keep going, Gaurav. Hope the doctors have good news. My husband and I read this together. God bless
thinking of you, Gaurav. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted. Love from Entebbe
sending strength, Gaurav. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Gaurav. Wishing Gaurav a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My neighbor in Rohini donated after I showed her your page.
