Joko lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Jakarta Selatan Rehabilitation Centre 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 $1,000. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Joko could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,000 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $10 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $940 • Fitting and training sessions: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 20 people at work. All the best.

            • Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Wudil.

              • Hope things get better soon, Fajar. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

                • Hope the doctors have good news. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
