I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Mumbai 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 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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: $1,150
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Greetings from Abbottabad
