Zoë lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at the Amsterdam Mobility Clinic has assessed her and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $3,150. Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 4 weeks. With the right equipment Zoë could speak with the people around her. 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 $3,150 goes: • First-year servicing plan: $200 • Fitting and training sessions: $175 • communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,775 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Wishing you peace, Anne. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. God bless

    • Keep going, Anne. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Uppsala so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

      • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoë

          First-year servicing plan is $200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.

      • Hope you get there. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        • good luck, Anne. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best!

          • shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Amsterdam.
