A communication tablet with eye tracking for Josiane: help Josiane move freely
Help Josiane get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can get to the shops and visit friends.

Josiane lives with an amputation below the knee. The occupational therapist at the São Paulo 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 $1,800.
Her current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 6 weeks.
With the right equipment Josiane could get to the shops and visit friends. 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 $1,800 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $55
• Fitting and training sessions: $50
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,695
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Enzo. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care!
Sending strength, Enzo. Get well soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
