🇺🇸 United States3,399 views
Marcus lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at Miami 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 $4,150.
His current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Marcus 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.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,400
• Fitting and training sessions: $280
• Delivery and set-up: $145
• First-year servicing plan: $325
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
