A communication tablet with eye tracking for Danica: help Danica move freely

Danica needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,200.

Danica lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at the Davao City 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 $1,200. Her current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks. With the right equipment Danica 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. Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing. Where the $1,200 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,050 • Fitting and training sessions: $70 • Delivery and set-up: $20 • First-year servicing plan: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Lourdes

Updates from Lourdes

  1. Update from Davao City: I made the first payment toward delivery and set-up. We're at 26% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Update from Davao City: the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. We're at 18% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) I made the first payment toward fitting and training sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
