Paul lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Dortmund 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 $3,350.
His current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Paul 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 $3,350 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,800
• Fitting and training sessions: $290
• Delivery and set-up: $105
• First-year servicing plan: $155
Every share and every dollar helps.
