A communication tablet with eye tracking for Salim: help Salim move freely
Salim needs a communication tablet with eye tracking that the health system won't fund; the cost is $750.

Salim lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Likoni Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a communication tablet with eye tracking. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $750.
His current equipment is 12 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 7 weeks.
With the right equipment Salim could go to school independently. 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 $750 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $50
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $660
• Delivery and set-up: $40
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Stay strong, Eunice. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Birmingham this morning. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 35 people at work. God bless.
Sending strength, Eunice. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. All the best.
