I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at Epe 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 $1,450.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,450 goes:
β’ communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,350
β’ Fitting and training sessions: $40
β’ Delivery and set-up: $10
β’ First-year servicing plan: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this, Yewande. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Take care
Sending strength. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Yewande. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Epe
Hang in there, Yewande. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Venice
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Epe.
