Todd lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Manukau 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 $500. His current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Todd could join the school sports day. 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. I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered. Where the $500 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $130 • First-year servicing plan: $200 • Fitting and training sessions: $170 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
