Jericho lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Quezon City Mobility Clinic has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $700. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Jericho could go outside without waiting for someone to push. It would change everyday life for the whole family. 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 $700 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $570 • Fitting and training sessions: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $75 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jerome

  • Wishing you peace, Jerome. I hope things turn around soon. God bless

    • So sorry you're going through this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. All the best.

      • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Rohini.
