A communication tablet with eye tracking for Lucky: help me move freely
Help Lucky get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can join the school sports day.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,757 views
I live with cerebral palsy. My occupational therapist at the Johannesburg Rehabilitation Centre has assessed me and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $2,400.
My current equipment is 9 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
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 $2,400 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,250
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $90
Thank you so much.

Shared this with my family. Greetings from Alcalá de Henares.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I hope December is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to București so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Johannesburg
so sorry you're going through this. Wishing Lucky a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Take care
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
