Usman lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the Asaba 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 $400. His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 6 weeks. With the right equipment Usman 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $400 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $20 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $360 • Delivery and set-up: $20 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Kayode
