Kampala
I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Kampala 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 $1,150. My current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment I could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,150 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $40 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • First-year servicing plan: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Stay strong, Muthoni. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Port Harcourt
