A communication tablet with eye tracking for Katherine: help Katherine move freely
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Katherine independence - we're $2,050 away.

Katherine lives with a rare neuromuscular condition. The occupational therapist at the Glasgow 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 $2,050.
Her current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment Katherine 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 $2,050 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $1,650
• Fitting and training sessions: $145
• Delivery and set-up: $125
• First-year servicing plan: $130
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Phuket donated after I showed her your page.
Thinking of you, Faith. Get well soon.
Take care, Faith. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Take care, Faith. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Stay strong, Faith. Your post was clear and honest. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Glasgow!
