José lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Alcalá de Henares 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 $3,100. His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 10 weeks. With the right equipment José 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $3,100 goes: • Fitting and training sessions: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $140 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,750 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Verónica

  2. We're at 29% thanks to 27 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($235 in total) I made the first payment toward communication tablet with eye tracking. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
