A communication tablet with eye tracking for Lily: help Lily move freely
Lily needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $6,850.

Lily lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at Leicester General Hospital 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 $6,850.
Her current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined her to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Lily 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $6,850 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $6,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $250
• Delivery and set-up: $55
• First-year servicing plan: $295
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

thinking of you. Get well soon. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Bang Khen
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Leicester.
Good luck, Jameson. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 12 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. After 20 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Hải Phòng.
