Matthew lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Leicester Rehabilitation Centre 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 $2,750. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment Matthew could join the school sports day. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,750 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $300 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,300 • Delivery and set-up: $150 I hope life is good to you.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Matthew!

        • Logan ChapmanOwnerAnswer

          First-year servicing plan is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.

      • Stay strong, Logan. Wishing Matthew a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care!

        • Take care. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Thinking of Leicester.

          • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Bogotá.

            • Hang in there, Logan. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.

              • You're not alone. Wishing Matthew a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Greetings from Corpus Christi

                • Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
