Help Ngọc get a communication tablet with eye tracking so She can go outside without waiting for someone to push.

I live with a spinal cord injury. My occupational therapist at Hồ Chí Minh City General Hospital 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 $550.
My current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 5 weeks.
With the right equipment I could go outside without waiting for someone to push. 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.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $550 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $440
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $30
• First-year servicing plan: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
