Jun lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at San Fernando 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 $1,600. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Jun 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 $1,600 goes: โ€ข communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,500 โ€ข Delivery and set-up: $10 โ€ข First-year servicing plan: $90 With deep gratitude, Kevin

Updates from Kevin

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and I made the first payment toward first-year servicing plan.

  2. Update from San Fernando: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 1% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
