Jonathan needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Jonathan needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,450.

Jonathan lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at Perth General Hospital 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 $3,450.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Jonathan could attend work interviews. 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 $3,450 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $270
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,970
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
