A communication tablet with eye tracking for Brett: help Brett move freely
Brett needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,850.
🇿🇦 Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa2,206 views
Brett lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Sandton Rehabilitation Centre 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 $1,850.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Brett could speak with the people around him. 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 $1,850 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,700
• Fitting and training sessions: $35
• Delivery and set-up: $35
• First-year servicing plan: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Brett?
Thank you. If you're in Sandton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Thinking of you, Sipho F. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. God bless
How is Brett doing now?
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Stay strong, Sipho F. Wishing Brett a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I hope January is when things finally get easier. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Sipho F. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Rawalpindi
Sending good thoughts, Sipho F. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
