Help Lincoln get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can attend work interviews.
Anywhere in the world645 views
Lincoln lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at Orlando General Hospital 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 $650.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Lincoln could attend work interviews. 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 $650 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $210
• Fitting and training sessions: $230
With deep gratitude,
Janet

Wishing you the best, Janet. Wishing Lincoln a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Tarkwa.
Thanks for sharing this, Janet. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Orlando.
