A communication tablet with eye tracking for Araceli: help Araceli move freely
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Araceli independence - we're $650 away.
🇺🇸 Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States1,246 views
Araceli lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Las Cruces Rehabilitation Centre 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 $650.
Her current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 12 weeks.
With the right equipment Araceli could join the school sports day. 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 $650 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $165
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• Fitting and training sessions: $330
Every share and every dollar helps.

So sorry you're going through this, Abril. Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best!
