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

Eugene needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $4,500.

Santa Fe
Eugene lives with cerebral palsy. The occupational therapist at Santa Fe General Hospital 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 $4,500. His current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 12 weeks. With the right equipment Eugene could attend work interviews. 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 $4,500 goes: • communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,000 • Fitting and training sessions: $280 • Delivery and set-up: $65 • First-year servicing plan: $155 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Aiden

          You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

            Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Thane
