I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at Bandung General Hospital 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 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $55 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Irma

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 81% funded and I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 59% now ($705). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.
