A communication tablet with eye tracking for Grace: help Grace move freely
Grace needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $650.

Grace lives with profound hearing loss. The occupational therapist at the Los Angeles Mobility Clinic 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 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Grace could go to school independently. 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:
• Fitting and training sessions: $210
• First-year servicing plan: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $60
If you're reading this, thank you.
