Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Jan in Munich
Jan needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $3,000.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, Germany2,116 views
I live with an amputation below the knee. My occupational therapist at the Munich 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 $3,000.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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 $3,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $220
• Delivery and set-up: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I hope things turn around soon. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Munich
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Indore.
gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Ikeja.
Stay strong. Wishing Jan a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kano.
