A communication tablet with eye tracking for Thomas: help Thomas move freely
Help Thomas get a communication tablet with eye tracking so He can attend work interviews.
🇫🇷 Paris, Île-de-France, France4,127 views
Thomas lives with low vision from retinitis pigmentosa. The occupational therapist at the Paris 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 $3,600.
His current equipment is 8 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Thomas could attend work interviews. 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 $3,600 goes:
• communication tablet with eye tracking: $2,850
• Fitting and training sessions: $320
• Delivery and set-up: $150
• First-year servicing plan: $280
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
Updates from Monique
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,343 in total) the plan for delivery and set-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
