Oaxaca de Juárez
Diego lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Oaxaca de Juárez 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 $2,900. His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks. With the right equipment Diego 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $2,900 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,650 • Fitting and training sessions: $90 • Delivery and set-up: $30 • First-year servicing plan: $130 With deep gratitude, Andrés

    Helped when no one else could

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Oaxaca de Juárez.

    • Julia Wilma Verhoeven

      hope things get better soon, Andrés. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
