I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at Birmingham General Hospital 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 $3,950.
My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $3,950 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $195
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,600
• Fitting and training sessions: $155
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Kinsley. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Bogor but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Birmingham.
Stay strong, Kinsley. Shared it with a few friends.
good luck, Kinsley. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
You're not alone, Kinsley. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
