San Jose
I live with muscular dystrophy. My occupational therapist at San Jose General Hospital 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 $3,550. My current equipment is 11 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment I could go to school independently. 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $3,550 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $3,150 • First-year servicing plan: $210 • Delivery and set-up: $190 Every share and every dollar helps. - Reagan

      Thinking of you and your family, Reagan. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

        You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Karachi!

          Praying for you, Reagan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of San Jose.

            hope this works out for you. After 17 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

              Thanks for sharing this, Reagan. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
