Okello lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Kasarani Rehabilitation Centre 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 $650. His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Okello 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $650 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $35 • Delivery and set-up: $25 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $590 Thank you so much. - Daniel

      Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rio de Janeiro.

          Thinking of you, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
