🇯🇲 Jamaica579 views
Marcia lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Half-Way Tree Rehabilitation Centre has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Marcia could join the school sports day. 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $860
• First-year servicing plan: $95
• Delivery and set-up: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
