I live with multiple sclerosis. My occupational therapist at the Celaya Mobility Clinic 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 $150.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 12 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 $150 goes:
• Fitting and training sessions: $60
• First-year servicing plan: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $40
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
- Marcos

Best of luck, Marcos. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
