A communication tablet with eye tracking for Salvatore: help me move freely
A communication tablet with eye tracking would give Salvatore independence - we're $500 away.

I live with profound hearing loss. My occupational therapist at the Milan Mobility Clinic 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 $500.
My current equipment is 13 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could speak with the people around him. 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 $500 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $200
• Delivery and set-up: $75
• Fitting and training sessions: $225
Thank you for reading my story.
- Salvatore

Best of luck, Salvatore. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side.
Thinking of you and your family, Salvatore. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending strength, Salvatore. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Milan
