I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at Lethbridge General Hospital 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 $4,950.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 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 $4,950 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,450
• Fitting and training sessions: $150
• Delivery and set-up: $120
• First-year servicing plan: $230
With deep gratitude,
Lucas
