A communication tablet with eye tracking for Anitha: help Anitha move freely
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Anitha independence - we're $850 away.
🇮🇳 Kozhikode, Kerala, India2,506 views
Anitha lives with multiple sclerosis. The occupational therapist at Kozhikode General Hospital 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 $850.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Anitha could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $850 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $750
• Fitting and training sessions: $25
• Delivery and set-up: $15
• First-year servicing plan: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Update from Kozhikode: we've started the first stage. We're at 77% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 42% now ($353). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the supplier and confirmed the amounts.

Thinking of you, Dhanush. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Kozhikode.
Wishing you peace, Dhanush. Hope you get there.

Take care. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Chandler
