I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Dehiwala 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 $1,000.
My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $870
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• Delivery and set-up: $25
• First-year servicing plan: $55
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mardan.
