Berlin
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Berlin Mobility Clinic 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 $7,750. My current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment I could speak with the people around her. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $7,750 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $7,250 • Fitting and training sessions: $220 • Delivery and set-up: $80 • First-year servicing plan: $200 Thank you for reading my story. - Mathilda
