Mobility fund: communication tablet with eye tracking for Lucas in Springfield
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Lucas independence - we're $750 away.

Lucas lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Springfield 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 $750.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Lucas 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $750 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $270
• First-year servicing plan: $290
• Delivery and set-up: $190
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 15% funded and I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions.
Update from Springfield: I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. We're at 9% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thinking of you, Hannah. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
