Jae-hyun lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Suwon 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 $5,700.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Jae-hyun could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $5,700 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $5,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $105
• Delivery and set-up: $95
• First-year servicing plan: $250
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Suwon
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Barcelona.
Praying for you. Hope the doctors have good news. Love from Hyderabad
You're not alone, Ha-joon. I hope things turn around soon.
Good luck, Ha-joon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Suwon
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Malmö
Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out
