Mbale

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Mbale Rehabilitation Centre 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 $350. My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $350 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $45 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $275 Thanks for being kind about this. - Juma

Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($108). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward communication tablet with eye tracking.
Update from Mbale: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $10 so far, we've started the first stage. - Juma
