Johanna lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Stockholm 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 $4,950.
Her current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 3 weeks.
With the right equipment Johanna could speak with the people around her. 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 $4,950 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $4,200
• Fitting and training sessions: $340
• Delivery and set-up: $160
• First-year servicing plan: $250
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Johanna!
It's all in the list in the story. communication tablet with eye tracking is the big one at $4,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Take care, Mattias. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 19 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Sending love, Mattias. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier
Good luck, Mattias. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Hawassa donated after I showed her your page.
