Kingston

I live with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. My occupational therapist at the Kingston Rehabilitation Centre 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 $200. My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 8 weeks. With the right equipment I could attend work interviews. 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 $200 goes: • Delivery and set-up: $40 • First-year servicing plan: $95 • Fitting and training sessions: $65 Thanks for being kind about this.
