Terry needs a communication tablet with eye tracking - help us make it happen
Help Terry get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can attend work interviews.
🇺🇸 Illinois, United States910 views
Terry lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Aurora Mobility Clinic 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 $750.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Terry could attend work interviews. 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 $750 goes:
• Delivery and set-up: $130
• First-year servicing plan: $290
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Terry?
Thank you. If you're in Aurora I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 7 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Aurora
Any update on how things are going in Aurora?
Sending good thoughts, Megan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Get well soon. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Is delivery and set-up the biggest cost or is there more coming?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. delivery and set-up is the biggest at $130. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Megan. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up.
Thanks for sharing this, Megan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 12 people at work.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Thane.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Illinois. I'll ask around and let you know.
